Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 389 The Sage's Layout ( more, please give me a monthly ticket)
Currently, Odysseus has in-depth cooperation with the Church of Knowledge. First of all, "Gal Rune" has become an internal reading material of the Church of Knowledge.

Based on this knowledge, the abilities of the "Reader" Path Sequence 5 "Mystic Instructors" have been significantly enhanced. The number of "Mystic Arts" they master and the number of extraordinary abilities they can "imitate" have increased exponentially.

It was because Odysseus gave the "Gal Rune" to the Church of Knowledge that he received the full support of the Church of Knowledge, was able to show his talents in the State of Wotai, and could develop his own power with peace of mind.

At the same time, Odysseus began to sell "Soul Storage Crystals" in Azshara. This is the only official channel, and the Church of Knowledge will provide corresponding protection.

The price Odysseus had to pay was that he had to give 10% of the profit from each "Soul Storage Crystal" sold to the Church of Knowledge.

This has already created a deep bond of interests between Odysseus and the Church of Knowledge, and has also basically formed a way of getting along that is acceptable to both parties.

Just like the current transaction, after Odysseus gets what the Church of Knowledge needs, he will find the Church of Knowledge to trade as soon as possible.

At the same time, as long as the requests made by Odysseus are reasonable, the Church of Knowledge will try its best to meet them.

For example, in the current transaction, theoretically speaking, a Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic is exchanged for a Level 4 Sequence 1 Seal, which is equivalent to a Sequence . This is considered an equal transaction.

However, the extraordinary characteristics of the "prophet" are characteristics that the Church of Knowledge needs very much. They even want to acquire all the characteristics of this channel that are scattered outside.

The seal paid by the church is definitely not the seal of the "Reader" path, nor is it even a seal formed by the characteristics of the adjacent path.

Using their extraordinary accumulation to trade for extraordinary characteristics of the same path is a very cost-effective deal for them.

Even if Odysseus came with strings attached, it would still seem like a good deal to them.

Edwina, with her delicate face and serious expression, said, "One of the two sealed objects is the '1-26' Knowledge Bronze Mirror.

"It looks like an ancient bronze mirror, but it has two different sides. If you use the front side, you can ask questions about science, mathematics, philosophy, etc. As long as you have any questions, you can ask them, and the mirror will give you the answers.

"But this aspect can only be used no more than twice a day. If used more than twice, there's a high probability that the 'Hidden Sage' will instill knowledge into you. If you're not a Beyonder of the 'Secret Peer' path, it's easy to lose control during this process.

"The reverse side can reveal extraordinary knowledge and extraordinary historical knowledge. If the user also possesses the knowledge held by the bronze mirror, they can utilize the bronze mirror and use the ability of 'Mysterious Reappearance' based on that knowledge.

"If the bronze mirror possesses knowledge that the holder does not, they will definitely receive an infusion of knowledge from the Hidden Sage.

"If the holder possesses knowledge that the bronze mirror does not, the bronze mirror will randomly take away a portion of the holder's knowledge. The holder will not be able to regain this knowledge until 12 hours later.

"If you choose this sealed object, it will come with a list of the mystical knowledge that the bronze mirror possesses."

Odysseus nodded slowly, feeling that the Church of Knowledge was still very sincere and was ready to complete the transaction with a seal that matched the "Mystic Scholar".

Moreover, the negative effects of this seal are relatively easy to circumvent. On the positive side, it only needs to be used twice or less. On the negative side, as long as there is a corresponding list, some "mysterious reappearance" abilities can be designed accordingly.

Of course, after Odysseus gets it, he can also crush it at some point in the future and use it to cultivate his own extraordinary power. After all, among his subordinates, there are already a large number of extraordinary people of the "Secret Peepers" path.

However, even after teaching them the "Acting Method", most of them were still "Low-Sequence" Beyonders.

Odysseus was already inclined to take the seal, but he did not stop and continued to listen.

Edwina continued, "The second sealed artifact is '1-42' Craftsman's Roar.

"It looks like a palm-sized brass trumpet. After wearing it, you can use the Beyonder's characteristics to create magical items. If the magical items you create don't have too much negative effect, the brass trumpet will play a piece of intermittent music.

"If the magical item you create has a significant negative effect, a middle-aged man's roar will be heard from the speaker, and this roar will seriously affect the spirits and mental bodies of those around him.

"Just listening to it once in a while can cause irritability or mood swings, and can put the owner in a bad state for one to three months.

"If you hear yelling three or more times in a month, it's easy to lose control.

“When crafting magical items below the demigod level, the probability of minor negative effects is approximately 70%.

"When crafting a Sequence 4 magical item, the probability of not being incurred by a Roar is only 20%. When crafting a Sequence 3 magical item, the probability of not being incurred by a Roar is even lower. According to our calculations, this probability is probably only about 3%."

Then there is no need to hesitate. Odysseus said, "I choose the first Sealed Artifact, the Bronze Mirror of Knowledge."

"Craftsman's Roar" is far less useful than "Alchemical Glasses".

Edwina asked again, "Do you plan to take me to Azshara to complete the transaction today? Or will we complete the transaction here tomorrow?"

Odysseus said: "Let's go to Azshara today."

He felt that it would be better to complete the extraordinary transaction as soon as possible.

Edwina asked again, "You said that I should provide a certain level of protection for Cruz Island. Do you want me to be stationed there for a certain period of time every year? Or will you let me go there when the need arises?"

Odysseus corrected him, "It's to protect my interests at sea, which may not just refer to Cruz Island."

Edwina said, "Okay."

Odysseus pondered for a moment and then said, "After you are promoted, I can study some 'secret arts' with you, so that you can have the ability to travel through the spirit world.

"I'll also give you a crystal ball that can contact Cruz Island from a distance. If you need help, just go there."

Odysseus had previously discovered that the "secret arts" of the "Reader" path were somewhat similar to the "witchcraft" of the "Secret Peeper" path, and that he could try to invent some "secret arts" based on the "Gal Rune".

However, the compatibility of "occult" and "witchcraft" still requires further research.

Moreover, because Odysseus had the "Travel Ring" before, he did not study the "witchcraft" that could travel through the spiritual realm.

Theoretically, when one reaches Sequence 5, one can try to use "witchcraft" to enter the spirit world and travel briefly.

But it is certainly not as useful as "travel", and it lacks the necessary protection when traveling through the spiritual world. It may also require the consumption of some high-level spiritual materials each time it is used.

But if you don't have a seal with the ability to "travel", it's still okay to use it occasionally.

After agreeing on the details of the conditions, Odysseus "reappeared" as Suzaku and came to Azshara with "Vice Admiral Iceberg".

At St. Chester Cathedral, he met Archbishop Douglas and completed the Sequence 4 level transaction under the Archbishop's witness.

Afterwards, Odysseus chatted with Archbishop Douglas and talked about the recent political situation in Lunburg.

At present, the political situation in Lenburg is stable and there seems to be no intense conflicts.

This made Odysseus a little strange. Could it be that the radicals were not planning to carry out the assassination again?
Because Odysseus was not sure whether his guess was correct, he did not mention that Enoch Alex, who was suspected to be a radical, had once asked him to tell fortunes.

Afterwards, the two chatted about Backlund's customs, and Douglas suddenly said, "A few days ago, I went to Wotai State and visited the construction site there. I was deeply moved."

He smiled and said, "Your application of the 'Gar Rune' seems to be to create tools that ordinary people can use?"

This was the first time the two had talked about this matter, and Odysseus knew that in order to avoid misunderstandings in the future, he had to make his intentions clear at this time.

He leaned back in his chair, as if lost in memory: "Those were some of my thoughts when I first came into contact with Extraordinary."

Odysseus smiled at Bishop Douglas and said, "You should have heard that I spent three years at the Sequence 9 level. I've told many people about this, but many didn't believe me."

He paused for a moment and continued, "I used those three years to complete a lot of basic research, so now I just need to focus on advancing.

"It's precisely because of my Sequence 9 level that I can still come into contact with a large number of ordinary people every day, and observe the lives of ordinary people from the perspective of a Beyonder.

"Suddenly one day, I realized something that seemed very strange to me. This world has existed for five epochs, but ordinary people are still considered 'beyond the extraordinary.'"

Douglas and Edwina listened carefully, because they knew very well that this would be a profound and frank conversation between the two sides, and the results of the conversation would even affect the future cooperation model.

In fact, after Douglas conducted some investigations, the Church of Knowledge was already considering whether to invest further in Odysseus?
The content of this conversation will be an important reference for whether the church will make additional investments.

"At first, I also thought that the number of Beyonder characteristics was limited, and this was something that only a few people could participate in." Odysseus said, "But when I was studying spirituality, I suddenly realized that my previous ideas were wrong.

“We shouldn’t think about every ordinary person having extraordinary abilities, but about making the extraordinary accessible to everyone.

"So I came up with the idea for the Extraordinary Tool. Until the end of last year, I found the process for making the 'Soul Storage Crystal' and finally solved the Extraordinary Tool's energy problem.

"That energy is spirituality, and spirituality is like ocean waves or sunlight... It's even like gravity or electromagnetic force, as if it's a force inherent in the universe itself.

"There must be a huge and extraordinary secret here, but right now, it's not clear where the source of the spirituality comes from."

Originally, Odysseus believed that spirituality should come from the "Chaos Sea" because according to his research, spirituality seemed to spread outward from the ground like waves.

But then I thought it made more sense that spirituality originated from Sefirah Castle. However, Sefirah Castle, unlike the Sea of Chaos, had no entrance into the real world. So how exactly did spirituality spread into the real world? This became a new question.

It was not until Odysseus was promoted to Sequence 4 that he saw a lot of advanced information in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and learned about the special nature of the "Chaos Sea" and "Source Castle" in the source material.

Odysseus seemed to understand that there was probably a certain abstract connection between the "Chaos Sea" and "Source Castle". It was precisely those connections that allowed the spirituality supplied by "Source Castle" to appear in the real world through the "Chaos Sea" to a certain extent.

But there is no need to tell Douglas about these thoughts.

Odysseus continued, “Then I had a bold plan: to use the wealth created by these extraordinary tools to build my own power, and then use that power to promote extraordinary tools.

“Until everyone in this world benefits from it.

"But in the early stages of this plan, it was destined to earn wealth from the Beyonders and bring convenience to ordinary people.

"So I must find a powerful enough extraordinary force to cooperate with."

Having said that, he looked at Douglas with a smile.

Douglas and Edwina both understood that this was the fundamental reason why Odysseus wanted to cooperate with the Church of Knowledge, because only the Church of Knowledge could immediately understand the importance of the "Gar Rune".

And will invest a lot of resources in research and cooperation with Odysseus.

Of course, the Steam Church is also well aware of this, but it is obvious that Odysseus is unwilling to cooperate with them.

At this point in the meeting, the direction of future cooperation has become clear. Douglas can already conclude that the church will continue to invest in Odysseus.

So he asked, "When are you going back to Lenburg?"

In Backlund, although Odysseus could gain the support of the Church of Evernight, there were two other churches in that country. If Odysseus really wanted to develop his own power there, he would have to go through a long period of tug-of-war over interests before he could achieve anything.

For a country like Lunburg that has only one faith, this is much easier. As long as they are willing to support Odysseus, the king will not dare to say anything.

"Soon." Odysseus smiled and said, "I'm waiting for an opportunity.

"A chance to legitimately enter the core layer of Lunburg!"

Douglas nodded slowly. "Just follow your plan. If you need the church's support, come to me."

"Ok."

Afterwards, the two of them talked about the differences between the nobles of Lunburg and Loen, but compared to the previous conversation, these contents were not very interesting.

After talking for a while, Odysseus stood up and said goodbye.

Douglas walked Odysseus to the door. Only after he saw him leave using his extraordinary abilities did the archbishop say, "No wonder the oracle said that Odysseus Gal is here to reshape the world and will serve as the main founder of the Sixth Era."

Edwina on the side was stunned. She didn't expect that the oracle would describe Odysseus in such a way!
She had no doubts about this oracle, not only because she believed in the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", but also because she had seen those extraordinary tools and knew what kind of changes these tools would bring to the world.

Edwina also looked towards the place where Odysseus left, and finally understood why the church attached so much importance to Odysseus, because the sooner the church invested in Odysseus, the sooner the Sixth Era would be ushered in.

Then she took a deep breath and felt for the first time that the new era was so close to her.

……

Odysseus returned to Backlund and placed the "Bronze Mirror of Knowledge" he had obtained into the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

At the same time, he took a look at his level 1 seals and found that he already had several of them. He should give these seals a number.

So he sorted out his level 1 seals, and the most used "Disaster Scepter" was numbered "1-81".

The reason why it is 1-81 instead of 1-1 is mainly because it refers to the design of "three battalions and three companies".

If you only have one company but have the title of regimental commander, you can name this company "Third Battalion, Third Company", as if you really own a regiment.

The "Alchemy Glasses" are basically only used in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and are numbered "1-82".

The "Puppet Dagger" seized from the "Rose School" is numbered "1-83".

There is also a Level 1 sealed object that Odysseus got from the "Moss Ascetic Order". Because its ability is somewhat useless, Odysseus has never given it a name. At this time, he just gave it the number "1-84".

Next are the two most recently acquired Level 1 Sealed Objects, also “Cursed Rag Dolls” seized from the “Rose School”, numbered “1-85”.

The sealed item just obtained from the "Witch Sect" and matching the "Iron Blood Knight" is named "Iron Blood Fist" and numbered "1-86".

No one asked about "1-86" when the spoils were being divided, so Odysseus did not take it out to participate in the division.

This meant that both Arianna and Bernadette conceded that this was the result of Odysseus's risky undercover work.

After a brief review, Odysseus asked the "intelligent puppet" in the "Knowledge Wilderness" to register the list.

Then he went to register the Level 2 and Level 3 seals, identified those that would be kept for use, and numbered them separately. Those with names were recorded, and those without names only had their abilities and negative effects recorded.

There are also some that have been confirmed to be sold, which are not included in this statistics.

You wouldn't know until you counted. Once Odysseus counted, he discovered that the number of his sealed objects was actually as large as that of a large diocese in the church!

But the problem is that most of the sealed objects are placed in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and there is no chance to take them out and use them.

Because Odysseus' official Beyonder system is not yet complete, most of his subordinates are still "low-sequence" Beyonders, and a large number of them work at the "Lenberg Research Institute" and usually have no combat missions at all.

There is an official team of extraordinary people on Cruz Island, but they only need to provide one level 1 seal, and three level 2 seals are enough.

The problems they couldn't solve would be difficult to resolve even with the use of seals, so they might have to ask Groselle and the ascetic Snowman for help, but these two Sequence 5s didn't need to use seals.

Odysseus sighed in his heart: The road ahead is long and arduous!

The next major task is to strengthen one's own extraordinary power.

The policy is still to train and recruit. Although recruitment is difficult at present, Odysseus has asked his subordinates to explore the situation in Azshara and Bernadette. There is no rush to recruit wild extraordinary people now. The important thing is to get to know more wild extraordinary people.

Wait until the war starts, and then recruit these wild extraordinary people. At that time when people are in panic, you will definitely be able to recruit a lot of extraordinary people.

Odysseus took a deep breath, took a short rest, and after lunch, he was just about to check on Rosalind's condition.

At this moment, a mature and dignified messenger in hunting clothes suddenly appeared and delivered a letter.

Odysseus casually asked, "Who sent it?"

The messenger replied, "A spirit."

Odysseus was stunned, guessing it might be "Deep Sea Vice Admiral" Hal Constantine. When he opened it, he found that the signatures were actually Xiatas and Mobet.

Although the letter was signed by two people, the tone of the words on it was that of Siatas alone.

She said that she was currently in the elves' habitat and explained that they planned to hold a wedding there and invite Odysseus, Groselle and others to attend.

Finally, it was explained that the invitation had already been discussed with the elves, who were willing to host Odysseus and his companions. However, after the wedding, the Beyonders from the elves' "audience" pathway would "hypnotize" them, causing them to forget the location of the elven habitat. On the back of the letter was a wedding invitation with an exotic feel.

Seeing this, a smile gradually appeared on Odysseus's face. He was just worrying about his own extraordinary power, but now it was delivered to them.

Just as he took out the letter paper to write a reply, he noticed that the messenger had not left yet.

Sometimes the messenger would not leave immediately after delivering the letter, but would walk around, so Odysseus did not pay much attention.

But this time the other party was not wandering around, but was looking at him.

Then Odysseus asked, "Is there anything else?"

The messenger asked, "You seem to be preparing for a promotion?"

Odysseus suddenly became alert: "Yes."

"Notify me when you are promoted." The messenger said: "Yugus will definitely take advantage of your promotion to plant a series of 'enlightenment seeds' in your body, and then detonate them after you are promoted.

"It's not enough for me alone. At least an Angel King-level being must be present to ensure your smooth advancement."

Yorgos Stiano is the true name of the "God of Steam and Machinery".

Odysseus was stunned for a moment before he said, "Can He attack me directly then?"

"Theoretically, he couldn't attack you before you became an angel," the messenger said seriously, "but when a Perfect One reaches Sequence 2, they can use their authority to influence Beyonders in adjacent pathways.

"He is simply using those influences to completely detonate your cognition, reshape your memory and thinking, and make you completely become his devout believer.

"There won't be any signs of this before, and you won't be aware of it.

"And the moment you drank the Sequence 3 potion, Yugus would immediately receive the information and affect you instantly."

Odysseus twitched his lips: "How cruel!"

In that case, it would be better to kill him.

Then Odysseus thought of Roselle's second son, Bernadette's younger brother, Benoît Gustave.

The other party seemed to be in this state, a devout believer of the "God of Steam", and even his old father and sister could not awaken his humanity.

In fact, Odysseus had a similar guess before, but he thought that would happen after he was promoted to an angel, and it would only make his condition worse.

I didn't expect the other party to be so vicious that he even wanted Odysseus to become his believer.

At the same time, Odysseus also realized why the "Hidden Sage" reminded him, because without His reminder, he would definitely not have thought of going to the Church of the Goddess of Night to be promoted, and he would have been completely unprepared.

Odysseus glanced at the messenger. This time, he was more inclined to believe the other party's reminder, because the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" had previously given him some advanced intelligence about the "Perfect One" path, including that when the "Perfect One" was at Sequence 2, its authority was actually biased towards the adjacent path.

After pondering for a moment, Odysseus simply asked, "Why did you choose to help me?"

"I know very well that Yugus has no chance of winning." The messenger smiled helplessly and sighed, "I've warned him many times, but he simply won't listen."

Odysseus frowned and said, "If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known anything about this."

"Even if I don't remind you, the Hidden Sage will." The messenger said, "And even if you don't make any preparations, the Hidden Sage will choose to directly confront Yugos to ensure your successful promotion."

Odysseus couldn't believe his ears: "He will protect me?"

"Yes," the messenger said seriously, "because your promotion to an angel is very important to Him."

Odysseus noticed a detail. When the messenger addressed the "God of Steam and Machinery", he used the word "he". This seemed normal. After all, the messenger was the sister of the "God of Steam".

But the Messenger used the word "Him" when referring to the "Hidden Sage".

However, Odysseus did not ask this question. Instead, he asked, "Why does the Hidden Sage need me to be promoted to an angel?"

The messenger didn't answer immediately. He paused for a second or two before saying, "That was His only chance to defile you."

Odysseus sighed in his heart: It's really one level after another. When advancing to Sequence 3, you have to be wary of the "God of Steam" playing dirty tricks.

When advancing to Sequence 2, one must also be wary of the contamination of the "Hidden Sage"...

Wait, Odysseus finally noticed: "You mean pollution?"

"Yes, the 'Hidden Sage' has been contaminated by the Outer Gods." The messenger said firmly.

This was the second time Odysseus had heard this news. Before, he only had some guesses. Only after hearing the news from the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" could he be sure of this matter.

At this time, the messenger was also very sure that the "Hidden Sage" had been contaminated.

Odysseus then asked, "Who polluted Him?"

The messenger said, "Wait until you become an angel."

The other party's answer made Odysseus trust her even more deeply, because the answer to this question must involve "above the gods", and if the other party said it like that, he would definitely be contaminated.

Odysseus took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I will find a way to deal with the attack of the 'Steam God'."

"I have another purpose in reminding you," said the messenger.

Odysseus looked at the messenger: "What is your purpose?"

"If in the future you regain the uniqueness of the 'Perfector' pathway and the characteristics of Sequence 1, I hope you won't kill Yugos." The messenger took a deep breath.

Odysseus asked, "You really don't hate Yugos at all? After all, he once caused your fall."

"You may not understand it now, but at the Sequence 1 level, divinity is the primary driver of one's ascension to a True God," the messenger said. "Besides, he knew the escape route I had left for myself, yet he never attempted to sabotage it."

Odysseus nodded: "I understand."

He paused and continued, "One last question. Why are you so certain that I will defeat the Hidden Sage and the Steam God?"

Odysseus actually wanted to find out from the side whether his time travel was an arrangement for the resurrection of the "Sage"?

Because up to now, he often heard news about the "Sage", but whether in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" or in ordinary times, he felt that the "Sage" was a very distant figure.

The messenger asked in return: "Can you feel your own divinity?"

Odysseus was stunned: "I am only a Sequence 4, my divinity is very insignificant."

The messenger smiled and said, "At Sequence 4, one begins to be called a demigod, and one can clearly sense the divinity within oneself."

This made Odysseus stunned. He had not paid attention to this matter at all. He thought that at Sequence 4, he could not feel the existence of divinity at all.

The messenger said, "The reason I believe you are the final winner, besides some information that I cannot tell you now, is because I know very well that after becoming an angel, you will be able to escape the battle of the True God. When you are at Sequence 1, you will be able to challenge the Angel King.

"Once you become the King of Angels, you will be able to challenge the True God."

Odysseus immediately understood: the messenger meant that she knew that I possessed the "wilderness of knowledge".

This immediately reminded him that the Messenger and the "God of Steam" were both core members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" and were personnel who were sent out with confidence by the "Sage".

Odysseus then realized that the messenger might be more aware of the "Sage's" back-up plan for resurrection.

But now is not a good time to inquire about these things, I can only wait until there is an opportunity in the future.

Now that things had come to this, Odysseus said, "If I truly recovered the uniqueness and Sequence 1 characteristics of the 'Perfect One', and if there wasn't a deep-seated hatred between the two parties before, I could give the current 'Steam God' a Sequence 2 characteristic."

The prerequisite must be made clear. If the other party goes too far and causes huge losses to Odysseus, or even irreparable losses, Odysseus will never let go of the "God of Steam" if his strength allows.

The messenger immediately agreed: "Yes."

She knew very well that Odysseus would be able to overcome these difficulties even without her help, so she would not make excessive demands.

Odysseus continued, "I also have a condition. After I advance to Sequence 3 and help you regain your angel-level characteristics, you must support my forces!"

Unexpectedly, the power issue that had made Odysseus a little melancholy just now suddenly had two very good ways to solve it.

"Of course." The messenger agreed readily. "And I can also bring a group of members of the Stiano family to join your extraordinary organization."

Odysseus was stunned. He thought carefully and confirmed that what he had just said was "support my forces", which meant to provide certain help when needed.

But the other party's intention is obviously to officially join the "Sword of Dawn"!

The good news came so suddenly that Odysseus took a moment to react before asking, "Hasn't all members of the Stiano family joined the Steam...Craftsman Church?"

The messenger said, "Some members of the family were very dissatisfied with Yugus's actions back then."

"Is it because He killed his own sister?"

"No," the messenger replied, "We all know that of two Sequence 1s on the same pathway, one will definitely become a stepping stone for the other. The main members of the family are also aware of this.

"The main reason is that Yugus announced that the Stiano family would withdraw from the 'Moss Ascetic Order'. Everyone was very opposed to this decision, but there was nothing they could do.

“At the same time, they didn’t really support Yugus’s advancement, so they didn’t join the Artisan Church.

"They currently have two demigods and a Level 0 Sealed Artifact."

Odysseus took a deep breath and felt as if a big pie had fallen from the sky!

"That's great." Odysseus did not hide his joy. "I was worried about the lack of manpower."

The messenger said, "Then it's a deal."

"It's a word."

"One more thing," Odysseus asked, "Do you have the 'liquid brain of the phantom multibody worm'?"

"I don't have it," the messenger replied, "but I know where I can get it easily."

Odysseus said: "Now I need this auxiliary material."

"No problem, when you have time, we'll go get it." The messenger said, "There may be a fight, but the enemy will be at most a demigod with a Level 1 Sealed Artifact.

"We just want something, not to kill anyone. It's easy to get it."

Odysseus smiled and said, "It seems you know that demigod very well."

"I know exactly where that mysterious item is stored," the messenger said. "Didn't I tell you before that I could provide some assistance when you advance to Sequence 3?

"Besides this auxiliary material, there is also the corresponding main material."

Odysseus was stunned: "What place is that?"

The messenger suddenly smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you get there."

Based on the trust they had just established, Odysseus didn't think too much about it: "Okay, three days later, at 8 am, we'll go grab the materials."

The messenger said, "No problem."

After the messenger left, Odysseus happily stood up and walked around the office. The two things that had just worried him were solved in an instant!

Then he remembered that he had originally planned to write a letter back to Siatas, but the conversation just now made him ignore the matter.

So Odysseus wrote his reply first and prepared to summon the messenger in the afternoon.

Then he began to think back to the conversation just now, and suddenly a line seemed to connect in his mind: Could the current situation where the "God of Steam" and the "Hidden Sage" are restraining each other be deliberately designed by someone?
The "Steam God" was able to influence Odysseus when he was promoted to Sequence 3, but the "Hidden Sage" would never allow the "Steam God"'s plan to succeed.

The "Hidden Sage" can pollute Odysseus when he advances to Sequence 2, and the "Steam God" will most likely sabotage him at this time.

Although Odysseus didn't know why the other party would cause destruction, judging from the current situation, the other party would not sit idly by.

Odysseus took a deep breath. If all this was really planned by someone, the person who designed this mutual restraint mechanism was most likely the "Sage".

Thinking of this, Odysseus shook his head. He guessed that his situation might be similar to Klein's. After reaching the level of archangel or true god, the most important enemy might be the "sage".

Odysseus didn't think much about this, because it was something he should worry about after being promoted to an angel.

After calming down, Odysseus saw that it was almost time, so he went to the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to observe Rosalind and found that she was already waiting at the same place as yesterday.

Odysseus returned to the real world and used his ability of "reappearance" to reunite with Rosalind.

Although there is no need to obtain auxiliary materials from Rosalind, now is the best time to persuade this demigod to rebel, and Odysseus will certainly not miss such an opportunity.

After the two people met up, they both used illusionary witchcraft in tacit understanding to make themselves invisible to the people around them.

Odysseus smiled and asked, "Are you ready?"

Rosalind, who was dressed somewhat old-fashionedly, took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready."

After being enlightened by this "divine lover" yesterday, she had indeed made a lot of psychological preparations, and even thought that even if Odysseus took her to the kingdom of the "Lord of Mysteries", it would not be a big deal.

So Odysseus reappeared as Suzaku and flew Rosalind to Cruz Island in just a few seconds.

Rosalind was very curious about Suzaku, but she held back and didn't ask.

Odysseus introduced: "This is the Plains Town on Cruz Island."

Rosalind was stunned. She didn't expect Odysseus to bring her here.

She looked around. The town was not big, with only two streets, one horizontal and one vertical.

However, the pedestrians here are basically dark-skinned natives, which is a bit abnormal because in the colony, the residents of this kind of small town are basically from the northern continent.

Odysseus led the way silently and came to the school in the small town. There were two rows of classrooms. One row of classrooms was filled with children who were learning letters and pronunciation, and the other row of classrooms was filled with adults who were practicing recitation.

Because both of them were invisible, their appearance did not attract the attention of the students.

The first thing Rosalind noticed was that the students here were all local indigenous people!

Odysseus smiled and said, "I just discussed this with others. In fact, the best way to solve the education problem is compulsory education.

"And it's high-quality compulsory education, which strives to make educational resources equitable."

Rosalind smiled wryly and said, "Of course I know that allowing the children of Backlund's East District to receive a good education can solve their problems to a large extent.

"But I can't do this because the Loen government can't do it, and a demigod in Backlund can't change much."

Odysseus said, "I also know that the Loen government can't do it. Have you ever thought about overthrowing the Loen government and the Loen royal family?"
