Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 381 Audrey's First Actual Combat (Today's Updates)

Daly and the others felt that Audrey's question was a bit redundant, but because she was Odysseus's subordinate, Daly and the others did not say anything and did not take it too seriously.

Only the "old man" in Leonard reminded him that this issue is actually a more critical one.

Odysseus, who was walking in the front, replied: "According to my observation, in the Fourth Epoch and before, the gods all faced the world in human form, or in concrete images.

"You should remember that a companion shared what they saw in the underground ruins of Backlund. They were the human forms of the six gods from the Fourth Epoch."

Audrey instantly recalled that this was information shared by the "world".

At the same time, she also thought of the images of the six gods shared by "Little Sun", which had been vilified by the believers of the "True Creator".

After hearing Odysseus' explanation, Daly and the others realized that this question might not be redundant.

And they didn't expect that the six gods also had human images?

Odysseus continued, “This kind of concrete image allows believers to point directly to the gods when they pray.

"And later, when they were replaced with corresponding symbols or holy emblems, they pointed to the authority of the gods, not directly to the gods."

Daly and the others were stunned for a moment, feeling that this topic seemed a bit blasphemous!
But they really wanted to listen, so they followed Odysseus quietly, afraid to interrupt his description.

Audrey, accustomed to discussing such blasphemous issues, asked again, "What's the difference between the two?"

"I've seen some information that says this can effectively filter out some of the negative emotions of believers." Odysseus reiterated, "I only read it in the literature. I can't tell whether it's true or not."

He paused and continued, "It is said that even if some believers are very devout to the gods, they still have all kinds of negative emotions when they pray.

"For example, if a believer has an enemy, he may pray to the gods and ask them to kill that person.

“This is a negative emotion, and there must be many believers who hold this negative emotion, which may affect the state of the gods.

"So the gods no longer appear in a specific form, but instead direct everyone's prayers toward their authority, thereby filtering out those negative emotions."

Dai Li and others were stunned. They didn't expect that there was such profound information in it.

Then Daly wanted to ask where Odysseus had found those documents. She also wanted to take a look.

At the same time, she planned to carefully read the advanced intelligence and information provided by the church after returning from this mission, because after taking action with Odysseus, she felt the power of knowledge.

Audrey said, "So that's how it is."

She didn't feel any emotion. After all, the image of the "Hermit" has always been that they know everything. As long as they ask questions, they will get certain answers.

If the intelligence is very advanced and critical, the "Hermit" will propose a deal.

However, some information that Audrey thought was very advanced was not so important to the "Hermit", so he would not accept payment.

While discussing this topic, several people walked around the stone statue of "King of the Underworld" from a distance and came to the back hall.

The back is very clean, with only an altar and a downward intersection, nothing else.

Seeing the empty altar, Odysseus was slightly stunned. There was nothing on the altar?
It shouldn’t be!

Even if there is no mastermind behind this altar, there should be some clues.

So Odysseus asked Daly and the others, "Do you understand the structure of the Church of Death?"

He realized that the Church of Death was located in the southern continent and its structure might be different from the church in the northern continent during the Fourth Epoch.

Dai Li and the others looked at each other, apparently they had no knowledge in this area.

At this time, Leonard said: "Could the clue we are looking for be in the underground structure?"

Before anyone else could react, Odysseus said, "That makes sense!"

He certainly knew that Leonard was unlikely to provide any useful clues at this time, but the "old man" in him had enough insight, and perhaps this was a reminder from the "old man".

Odysseus was about to lead the team to the underground structure when Audrey suddenly asked, "Mr. Mitchell, is there anything else you want to remind us?"

Odysseus looked back at Leonard and saw him clear his throat awkwardly, as if he had done something bad and was exposed.

He immediately understood that Leonard was feeling a little guilty.

When no one was clueless, he suddenly provided a clue, and Odysseus adopted it without even asking the reason. When reviewing the operation after it was completed, it felt a bit strange.

Of course, this strange feeling is unlikely to attract the attention of his colleagues, but at some point in the future, if he does something that attracts attention, this strange feeling will easily become evidence.

If it were any other time, the matter would have ended there, but now there is an "audience" in the team, and this "audience" has no tacit understanding with Leonard, so Leonard can't hide his little thoughts at all.

Leonard was about to clear his throat and make an excuse when Audrey asked him this, but then he heard Odysseus, who was at the front, ask, "I have a question too. Have you seen any document describing the structure of the Church of the God of Death?"

As he spoke, Odysseus naturally continued to lead the team in front. Coupled with the topic of "the image of the gods" just now, there was an atmosphere of discussing issues, so it was successfully disguised as a discussion.

"That's not the case." Leonard breathed a sigh of relief and gave the reason he had prepared long ago: "I just remembered that the Church of the God of Death has a unique culture of death, and the dead are buried underground in coffins. So I wondered if they might have important structures underground."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Excellent reasoning."

But he said in his heart: It’s really troublesome to get along with people who have problems of their own.

Daly and the others just thought they were discussing a problem and didn't notice anything unusual. After all, Leonard often had some strange ideas.

Audrey observed the unnaturalness in the interaction between Odysseus and Leonard, but this time she chose to remain silent.

As they were talking, everyone had already walked down the stairs to the next floor, and a long corridor appeared in front of them.

Odysseus in front noticed that this corridor was very gloomy, and there was an 80% to 90% chance that there were some extraordinary traps or undead magic arrangements.

As he raised the "Staff of Gus", pure white sunlight fell, and miserable screams suddenly came from the corridor.

Under the scorching sunlight, some shadows emerged from the walls of the corridor, and then they quickly became dim and finally disappeared without a trace.

When the pure white light disappeared, the corridor in front was still as quiet and deserted, but without the eerie feeling.

Leonard wasn't the only one who felt the same way. This operation, while clearly bizarre and of a high level, seemed to be made easier by the presence of a demigod. Daly and the others shared the same feeling.

Some murals appeared in the corridor, depicting bloody sacrificial scenes. The evil spirits that had just been purified by Odysseus should have been hiding in these murals before.

After passing a long corridor, we turned a corner and arrived at an underground hall.

There is indeed an underground altar here, and around the altar, there are six corpses facing the altar, making worship gestures.

A faint light continuously emanates from the center of the altar, and the beam of light connected to the top of the black stone may come from here.

There is also a stone object on the altar, with a base and two stone arms extending outward.

Odysseus couldn't figure out what this stone tool was used for at first, but he gestured to others to remind them to be vigilant.

Because Odysseus noticed that although the clothes on the six corpses were very tattered, there was an abnormal spiritual flow.

After walking a few steps forward, Odysseus recognized that the stone tool on the altar was a stone stand, which should be used to support weapons or something like that.

But that thing was taken away, so only a stone shelf was left.

After walking forward for a distance, Odysseus raised the "Staff of Gus" and was about to purify the six corpses again, but he felt that there was something abnormal about the six corpses, and the power of "Holy Light" might "awaken" them.

After thinking it over for a while, Odysseus decided to wait for the "other party" to make the first move.

Until everyone got close to the altar, the six corpses did not react.

They all lowered their heads, as if in repentance.

It was impossible to tell from the bodies how they died.

The first thing Odysseus noticed was that there was a line of black words in front of several corpses, which seemed to have been left by the corpses when they were alive.

The characters were the local Dutan language of the southern continent. Odysseus had mastered this language long ago. He took a quick look and saw the words written on one of the corpses: Bradrick deceived us...

Odysseus was stunned. Bradrick was the target of sacrifice by the pirate leader Bolton.

He continued to read, and before the second corpse was written: His purpose was not to awaken the master of the underworld...

The next few corpses had inscriptions on them: We need to find him...

Tear his soul apart...

We must be resurrected! We must be resurrected...

Only by resurrecting can I find Bradrick...

There was no writing on the last body.

Odysseus frowned. He was becoming increasingly confused about this matter. He didn't understand why they were sacrificing the entire city. He also didn't understand what Bradrick had lied to them about.

Odysseus then translated the words written by the corpse to Daly and the others, and then asked them, "What do you think?"

Everyone frowned, because just from these words, it was difficult to guess the full picture of the matter.

Audrey used the clues she had observed to try to speculate, "Could this be the case? This man named Bradrick had something planned with these six corpses. It's very likely that this city was their sacrifice."

“But Bradrick hid his true intentions. These six people died, but he did not.

"Including Bradrick's words, there are exactly seven people. Could they be the seven priests who sacrificed their lives back then?
"Also, the corpse with no written information should be carefully examined. There must be some reason for its abnormal behavior."

Odysseus smiled and said, "You are right. The sixth body... no, the sixth person is not dead yet."

Not dead yet?

Everyone immediately took a defensive stance and looked at the man again. Like the other corpses, his skin and flesh had completely shriveled and turned black, like a mummy, with no signs of life.

Odysseus raised his hand, and a power similar to that of the underworld burst out from the scepter.

This surprised Daly, Leonard, and the others standing by, because in their opinion, Odysseus was very almighty! He had previously released abilities similar to "Holy Light," and now he had unleashed an ability with undead attributes.

This was actually an ability that Odysseus simulated using the "Gar Rune". When the power he simulated was poured into the body of the "sixth person", the mummy suddenly moved its neck and made a "creaking" sound like a machine that was severely lacking in oil.

Then he slowly stood up, raised his head to look at the "Staff of Gus" in Odysseus's hand, and then looked at Odysseus.

In fact, his eyeballs had already shriveled up, but Odysseus and others could still feel his gaze.

His lips didn't move, but a deep voice uttered, "Is the 'Moss Ascetic Order' preparing to start another civil war in the southern continent?"

Everyone immediately realized that this was a soul dialogue initiated by the other party through spirituality.

However, they didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

Odysseus immediately recalled that he had received intelligence that during the Fourth Epoch, the "Moss Ascetic Order" had opposed the Balam Empire's attitude towards the people, and it seemed that a battle had taken place.

He did not answer the other party's question, but said: "The Balam Empire has been destroyed."

The territory currently ruled by the "Royal Faction" of the "Spiritual Cult" is not even as big as a kingdom.

Without waiting for the other party to react, Odysseus continued, "We are investigating Bradrick and have tracked him down here. He is using the power of the underworld to carry out some actions. Do you know his true purpose?"

The "sixth man" did not answer Odysseus' question, but said: "No one can stop our resurrection process, and no one can stop the return of the master of the underworld."

Odysseus smiled and said, "I'm not as optimistic as you."

He pointed to the stone shelf on the altar and said, "According to our investigation, there should be a scepter on it. It is the most important thing in your plan, but it was taken away by Bradrick."

This was the association that Odysseus had just made. He was almost certain that the demigod of the "God of Death" path who cooperated with the "Witch Cult" should be Bradrick.

He further thought of what the "White Saint" Catalina once said: Bradrick could provide a scepter to allow Odysseus to gain a certain amount of power, so that a demigod could "reproduce" the "King of the Underworld".

So he boldly guessed that the scepter in Bradrick's hand was taken from here.

Everyone clearly saw a look of surprise on the withered face of the "sixth person": "Do you know the 'Scepter of the Dead'?"

Dai Li and the others had blank expressions on their faces, but they were basically thinking in their hearts: It’s been tricked!
"Of course I know." Odysseus said, "But the information we know may not be comprehensive enough to accurately infer Bradrick's purpose.

"How about this? You tell us what Bradrick is up to, and we'll help you get revenge."

Audrey, standing by, thought to herself, "Emperor Roselle once said that the best way to capture a target is to let them go first." The Hermit's previous statement was a gesture of weakness, which only made his words more credible and further served his purpose of confusing the opponent. He truly was an expert in psychology!
The "sixth person" was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't need your help in revenge..."

Odysseus interrupted him forcefully: "Bradric has used a sacrifice and the scepter in his hand to become very powerful.

"Even if you are resurrected, what can you do? Can you kill him?"

The "sixth person" fell silent again. Odysseus knew that he had reached the point, so he didn't say anything else.

After a while, the "sixth person" asked, "After I tell you Bradrick's purpose, what are you going to do to us?"

"Seal." Odysseus said: "This city has a very close connection with the underworld. You should have some special abilities that you can use here.

"The best way is to seal it. You continue to guard here. As long as you don't cause great damage outside, it will be fine."

The Sixth Person raised his lips and said, "Sealing is indeed the best way.

"I have one request. If you kill Bradrick, bring the scepter and his head here."

Odysseus knew that the other party was testing him, so he said, "The head is fine, but the scepter is not."

He often did this. If he agreed to their request immediately in order to obtain information, the other party would definitely become suspicious, because the scepter could not be given to them under any circumstances.

After the terms were agreed upon, the "sixth person" said, "Bradrick wants to become the master of the underworld."

Odysseus was stunned: "He wants to be the 'God of Death'?"

"No, no, no, it's the 'Master of the Underworld'." The 'Sixth Person' emphasized: "Of course, he definitely wants to become the new 'God of Death' in the end.

"But his current goal is to become the 'Master of the Underworld,' so that he can harness the power of the Underworld and temporarily possess the power of an angel, or even an archangel.

"Prepare for further promotion."

Odysseus nodded slowly. He knew very well that no matter when or in what organization, it was always difficult to become an angel.

Then he asked, "You sacrificed the lives of an entire city before. What was your plan?"

"After learning of the great 'Emperor of the Underworld's' death, Bradrick lied and claimed he had received an oracle, promising to help resurrect the 'Emperor of the Underworld'." The Sixth Man narrated:

"The fall of the gods plunged all the priests into confusion and chaos. We trusted Bradrick's words and used the 'Scepter of the Dead' to sacrifice the lives of the city to the underworld, connecting the city to the underworld and becoming a part of the underworld in the real world.

"Bradrick claimed that part of the broken soul of the great 'God of Death' needed a place like this to recuperate and wait for the opportunity to resurrect." "When we were performing the sacrifice, we realized something was wrong. Although the seven of us sacrificed our souls and lives together, Bradrick was not affected. After we died, he left here and lived in a city outside.

"We now understand that Bradrick began his conspiracy after learning of the fall of the great 'God of Death'. He has been waiting for the right moment to completely control the underworld.

"Just recently, he seemed to have found the opportunity and came here to take away the scepter."

Odysseus asked, "Has Bradrick never left for over a thousand years?"

The "Sixth Man" replied, "He should have left, but my current state and intuition aren't that sharp, so I can't be sure exactly when he left or how he left."

Odysseus nodded. "One more question. Can you be resurrected without the scepter? Or what is the principle behind your resurrection?"

The Sixth Man looked at Odysseus again before answering, "After Bradrick took the scepter, we couldn't tolerate him usurping the power of the God of Death, so we used the underworld to begin the resurrection process."

But he didn't tell us the specific process.

"Let me guess." Odysseus smiled and said, "You can't actually be resurrected. You just let your spirit attach itself to some fresh corpses, temporarily gaining the ability to move freely.

"You hanged those people because of your hatred for the betrayers...

"Well, from this, we can infer that under normal circumstances, you cannot leave here. Not even your soul can.

"Before, you didn't carry out the resurrection process because you were afraid of being interrupted by Bradrick. This shows that the main power of your resurrection process comes from the underworld, not the scepter.

"So the legend that 'if the seven priests are resurrected, the god of death will be resurrected' is false."

"Well, strictly speaking, you can't actually be called resurrected..."

As Odysseus spoke, he walked around as if he was looking for something.

After saying this, he smiled and said, "My previous guess was correct. The 'Scepter of the Dead' is the medium that connects to the underworld.

"Without the 'Scepter of the Dead', you can still draw strength from the underworld, but this city can no longer be considered a part of the underworld.

"Because your connection with the real world has strengthened, you can use evil spirits to capture living people around you and use them as 'resurrection'.

"Let me guess again, was it during this process that a sudden misfortune struck, causing one of the prey to escape from your control?
"It was that bully named Mima Gale. He returned to the port and attracted the attention of the official Beyonders."

And that "misfortune" that came from the sky was most likely arranged by the goddess.

After Bradrick obtained the "Scepter of the Dead", he tricked Bolton's pirate group into discovering the treasure of the Balam Empire. Bolton then "resurrected from the dead" and helped him perform the sacrifice.

This is the whole picture of the matter.

After hearing what Odysseus said, the "Sixth Man" said, "You don't intend to seal us?"

"Yes." Odysseus smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I lied just now.

"For people like you who are willing to sacrifice an entire city, we must not let you go."

"You're holding the 'Staff of Gus'!" The Sixth Man sounded agitated. "Don't you even have this little bit of integrity?"

Odysseus raised the "Staff of Gus" in his hand and said, "I just apologized to you sincerely!"

Daly and the others all smiled insincerely.

The "Sixth Man" stood there in a daze, not reacting for two or three seconds.

Odysseus had already stepped on the ground, and "Gal runes" and large and small figures spread out around, covering the entire room.

These runes slowly floated up, emitting a soft light.

This is an upgraded version of the "barrier array" that can completely cut off the connection between the real world and the underworld.

The faint light on the altar disappeared immediately. In this case, it was impossible for these six corpses to be reborn after being killed like those on the gallows outside.

While negotiating with the other party, Odysseus had already thought of a way to kill the other party.

And just now, when he was walking back and forth, he was constantly injecting spirituality into the ground.

At this point, the "Sixth Man" no longer harbored any illusions. He opened his mouth and whispered something. When he uttered the first syllable, Audrey and the others felt their entire bodies stiffen, as if their souls were about to leave their bodies.

The other party was an "immortal" when he was alive, so although he sacrificed his soul and life, he has always been between life and death.

Precisely because he is a demigod, "Voice of the Dead" becomes a "group attack skill" for him.

At this time, an illusory cow suddenly appeared in front of them. The appearance of the cow was not the same as the cow they imagined.

There is another instrument that is somewhat similar to the Qixuanqin, but with obvious differences.

Idiom story: Playing the lute to a cow!
The moment these illusory things appeared, the "language of the dead" of the "Sixth Man" suddenly turned into a funny sound similar to a clown performance, and their spirits were no longer affected in any way.

Odysseus pointed the "Staff of Gus" in his hand forward, and the feet of the "Sixth Man" suddenly turned into gold, and the golden part quickly expanded upwards.

Fairy tale magic: turning stone into gold!
Daly and the others retreated in unison, avoiding the battlefield between the two demigods, and then began to use their long-range extraordinary abilities to attack the five corpses still on the ground.

The five corpses rolled over in unison, stood up, and began to fight back. They all had the strength of Sequence 5.

Audrey looked at the man's shrunken face and almost cried out in surprise.

"Imprison!" At this time, Susie used the "Hand of Judgment" to suddenly imprison one of the mummies in ancient Hermes language.

Audrey has adjusted her mindset and used magical items to attack the "imprisoned" mummy.

At the same time, she thought to herself: Audrey, this is so embarrassing. Susie is calmer and more composed than you!
On the other side, two skeletal arms suddenly stretched out from behind the "Sixth Man", "torn off" his two legs, and threw them to the other side of the altar.

Immediately afterwards, before the "sixth man" fell to the ground, two legs with only skeletons left quickly emerged and supported him again.

The two legs that were thrown out quickly turned into hard gold.

At this time, Odysseus's new attack came again, and the "sixth man" could only try to avoid it.

This "undead" was no longer in peak condition and couldn't run away, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

After several rounds of attacks, Odysseus tested the opponent's condition and strength.

Although he had completely digested the potion and could "reproduce" many powerful abilities, he was still not very proficient in mastering the abilities of a demigod.

Fortunately, the two enemies he encountered today were not normal demigods.

If it were a normal demigod, Odysseus would have a considerable advantage, but the opponent could easily escape.

At that moment, after learning about the opponent's strength, Odysseus tightly grasped the "Staff of Gus" with both hands, and the head of the staff emitted an unprecedented light!
After becoming a demigod, Odysseus was able to make better use of the "Staff of Guth" and design some abilities that were stronger than the normal Sequence 4 strength.

For example, the ability he is using now is an ability that can only be used with the "Staff of Gus"!

Mythological story: Ten suns in the sky!
A ball of pure light burst out from the "Staff of Gus" and stopped at the top of the hall, making the entire hall seem to be illuminated by the midday sun.

The abilities of the "Sixth Man" and the five corpses have all been weakened to a certain extent.

Then Odysseus's hair turned golden, as if it was burning with golden flames. The "Staff of Gus" then burst out with a ball of golden light and appeared at the top of the hall.

Everyone felt their exposed skin burning as if it was on fire.

The "Sixth Man" realized that this ability would cause great harm to himself, so he pushed forward, hoping to open the door to the underworld.

Although Odysseus used a magic circle to cut off the power of the underworld, he was unable to stop the extraordinary abilities of the demigod level.

A bronze door with intricate and mysterious patterns appeared in front of Odysseus. At the same time, the flames on the "Sixth Man"'s body just ignited and then went out.

On the other side, all the bodies, whether they had been knocked down or not, were engulfed in flames.

They struggled desperately, but found it impossible to put out the fire on their bodies.

Odysseus said to Daly and the others, "Get behind me."

Daly and others quickly came behind Odysseus, and the burning sensation was immediately relieved a lot.

The moment Odysseus opened his mouth, a beam of light shone out from his mouth. This beam of light was amplified by the "Staff of Gus" and turned into a ball of illusory light.

Rays of light with purifying power fell and illuminated the five corpses. They fell to the ground with screams, and their spirits quickly dimmed and disappeared under the purifying light.

Another purifying light shone on the "Sixth Man". He quickly hid behind the "Gate of the Underworld" and pushed the bronze door hard, finally opening a gap.

At this moment, balls of light gushed out between Odysseus's breaths. The head of the "Staff of Gus" shone brightly again, and a blazing white ball of light flew out and quickly rotated around the top of the hall.

As it spun, balls of bright white flames fell down. After these flames hit the ground, they immediately dispersed and ignited a white flame.

The stone bricks on the ground and the stone altar had all been burned into lime, and the entire hall was suffocatingly hot.

At the same time, the "Gate of the Dead" of the "Sixth Man" finally opened, and indescribable eyes looked towards the outside world. But just as the breath of the underworld was about to penetrate the real world, the sunlight of four suns shone into the black underworld at the same time.

The owners of those eyes hiding behind the door were either burned from the inside out by the golden flames, chased by the purifying light, or burned to pieces by the blazing white flames.

At this time, Odysseus's eyes were also replaced by sunlight, and a huge light yellow ball of light emerged from the "Staff of Gus", forming a huge light yellow sun in the sky above the hall.

It was like a giant eye, looking at the "Gate of the Underworld" indifferently, as if light appeared in the eternal underworld.

squeak~
The huge bronze door closed and disappeared in an instant.

Without the protection of the "Gate of the Underworld", the "Sixth Man" was suddenly exposed to the radiation of five suns. His body was immediately covered by blazing white and golden flames, and his spirit was purified.

At this time he had calmed down and was looking at Odysseus quietly, waiting for the final blow.

Odysseus's entire body was emitting this light, and a white ball of light shot out from the "Staff of Gus". After it reached the top of the hall, it fired a "blazing white javelin" that hit the "Sixth Man" in the chest.

He was completely enveloped in raging flames, the "blazing white javelin" exploded, and the "sixth man" was blown to pieces, and then the fragments were burned to ashes.

His last words echoed through the hall: "You have the potential to kill Bradrick..."

Odysseus took a deep breath, and six suns of different sizes and colors rotated above everyone's heads. Although this ability is called "Ten Suns in the Sky", he can only "reproduce" six at present.

If the "Divine Tide" ability is used in advance, perhaps two more can be "reproduced".

It was not until the enemies before him quickly transformed into extraordinary characteristics that Odysseus gradually withdrew his spirituality and the light on his body faded little by little.

About ten seconds later, the hall returned to darkness.

But Audrey and the others still felt the scorching heat and were sweating profusely. If they had not been hiding behind Odysseus, they might have been roasted into mummies or burned to ashes.

Although everyone was an extraordinary person, the sunlight just now was too bright. After the sunlight disappeared, everyone's eyes could not adapt for a while, and there was darkness in front of their eyes. Only after they opened their spiritual vision could they see a blurry picture.

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "This ability is perfect for dealing with undead creatures."

His original intention in designing this was to deal with the "Rose School", but he didn't expect to try it out here first.

Audrey pursed her somewhat dry lips and asked, "Are all demigods so powerful?"

Odysseus raised the staff in his hand and smiled, "Without it, I wouldn't be so powerful."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a circle of small "Gal Runes" appeared around the Beyonder characteristic of the "Undead", forming an illusory seal.

Odysseus said, "This seal can only last for 12 hours. Let's collect the spoils first."

Daly then remembered that Odysseus had promised not to take any spoils of war. However, when collecting the spoils, Daly gave Audrey an extraordinary characteristic of "Gatekeeper", which was her spoils of war.

Audrey evaded the question, saying, "I didn't play a big role either."

Because it was her first time participating in an extraordinary battle, even with three magical items, she and Susie could only withstand the attack of one corpse.

Odysseus said, "Captain Simone gave it to you, so take it."

Under normal circumstances, Audrey really couldn't get so much loot, but the extra part was Daly's gratitude to Odysseus.

After collecting the spoils, everyone's vision gradually adjusted to the surrounding darkness. Everyone noticed that the "sixth man" and several corpses were burned to ashes.

I left the stuffy underground hall for a while and returned to the outside of the church to rest for a while before returning the same way I came.

At this time, the light column from the church had disappeared. When the group returned to the ground, they first saw that the wooden gallows had all fallen to the ground. It was obvious that the problem had been solved.

Of course, Bradrick's affairs still needed to be investigated, but that was not within Odysseus's scope of work for the time being. After chatting with Daly and others for a few more words, he "reappeared" Suzaku and left with Audrey and Susie.

Soon it was evening, and the finishing work was handed over to the Night Watchmen. Daly wanted to deliver the extraordinary characteristics of the "Undead" to the church as soon as possible, so the "Red Gloves" members evacuated first.

In order to prevent their extraordinary characteristics from affecting ordinary people, the "Red Gloves" members have to drive themselves.

Leonard volunteered to be the first driver.

After the carriage started, Leonard spoke in a whisper that only he could hear, "Old man, are all the demigods of the Voyeur path so powerful?"

The abilities that Odysseus displayed today completely refreshed his understanding of the extraordinary.

"Didn't he say it himself? The staff in his hand is the key." Pallez Zoroast, who was parasitizing Leonard, said slowly, "I didn't expect to see the 'Staff of Gus' in the Fifth Epoch.

"But the Moss Ascetic Order is indeed much weaker now. Even a demigod can wield the Staff of Guth."

Leonard asked quietly, "Is that staff powerful?"

Pales said with a smile: "In the early period of the Fourth Epoch, only angels could wield the 'Staff of Gus'.

"Amon once wanted to get one, so he went to the Moss Ascetic Order to steal it, but the Sage whipped his butt with the Gus Staff."

That was one of the few embarrassing moments for Amon, and Pales always talked about it with relish.

Leonard looked into the distance. According to the church documents, Odis Gar was not a member of the "Moss Ascetic Order".

Of course, it is not ruled out that it was snatched from the "Mos Ascetic Order", because according to some intelligence, Odysseus's forces had just had a fierce conflict with the "Mos Ascetic Order" not long ago.

But why did he become the "goddess's" favorite?
Leonard took a deep breath, feeling that Gal seemed to be becoming more mysterious.

……

Odysseus took Audrey and Susie back to the mayor's office on Cruz Island, and asked the secretary for a cold beer and two glasses of ice water.

The six suns just now also made Odysseus sweat.

The two of them and the dog drank a few sips before Odysseus said, "I'm not going to be a tour guide anymore. It's too tiring!"

(End of this chapter)
