Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 391 Are you sure this is a robbery?
On the food street of Cruz Island, the sea breeze blew gently, making the pirates who were enjoying the food here feel that they had regained the feeling of ordinary people's life.

For a moment, they didn't want to speak anymore, because as soon as they opened their mouths, they would swear and would not be able to enjoy this brief peace.

There is only one bar in the entire food street. It is getting more and more crowded with customers, but it is very quiet.

It was the bar where Odysseus and Klein were drinking. The drinkers were quiet, hoping to hear the conversation between the two.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Odysseus used witchcraft to make their voices inaudible and even their mouth shapes invisible.

Odysseus and Klein, who had each had a few drinks at this point, finally lost their restraint and began chatting.

They first talked about the previous fight against the "Apostle of Desire" in Backlund, then talked about the Backlund smog, and talked about the helplessness of ordinary people in the face of extraordinary people.

"Being extraordinary does have its advantages." Odysseus said, holding his wine glass. "For example, I don't have to worry about my subordinates' loyalty at all, nor do I have to worry about whether they will hide anything from me.

“Because many things can be divined, and they know this, they won’t fool me.

"But in the world of ordinary people, this is difficult to achieve. Managers like me have to spend most of our energy on playing games with human nature."

Klein agreed, "Divination is indeed quite useful."

After hearing what Odysseus said, he also thought that the followers of the Church of Poseidon really did not dare to disobey "Poseidon" or hide anything from "Poseidon".

This is indeed an advantage brought by Extraordinary.

Then the two began to discuss the rigid Loen people and the free-spirited Intis people.

They chatted until after nine in the evening, and Klein had to go back. Today, it was the "Arrodes Magic Mirror" that was impersonating Dwayne Dantès as usual.

A previous impersonation almost ruined Dwayne Dantes' image.

After waving goodbye, Klein entered the spirit world.

Looking at the spiritual world before him, where he couldn't tell up from down, left from right, Klein suddenly smiled.

We didn't discuss anything serious during the dinner tonight, but it was a very enjoyable experience.

He thought about it and realized that after he traveled through time, he rarely engaged in this kind of "useless social interaction".

……

After watching Klein leave, Odysseus went to the cabin on the top of the mountain and made himself a simple dish of fried clams. He ate it while drinking wine.

Looking at the brightly lit town outside and the waves crashing against the beach under the night sky, I feel that this is what life should be like.

Odysseus vaguely remembered that he had wanted to go to the beach to play before he traveled through time.

So I signed up for a tour group and came to the beach. It turned out to be like a forced march. Before I had even finished staying in one place, I had to check in at the next place.

At that time, he thought that one day he would be able to sit by the sea, leisurely drink some wine and eat some seafood.

Now, that wish has actually been realized.

Odysseus sighed and felt that sometimes he needed to be alone, think about nothing, and let himself empty his mind.

Otherwise, he would reminisce about his previous life, complain for no reason, or fantasize about some inappropriate scenes with Bernadette. This is what a normal man's life is like.

It was not until midnight that Odysseus returned to Backlund to rest.

After waking up, Odysseus immediately felt much better, and then he was busy all day at a leisurely pace.

At nine o'clock the next morning, the messenger appeared at the appointed time: "Are you ready?"

Odysseus had already done astrology in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" in advance and found that today's action would not be dangerous and would have a very smooth result.

So Odysseus, who had brought the "Gus Staff" and other equipment, said, "I'm ready."

Today they agreed to go grab the auxiliary materials for advancement to Sequence 3.

The messenger raised his hand and a ball of soft light covered the two people. Then Odysseus felt as if he had merged with the light, and he flashed with the light and disappeared on the spot.

Ten seconds later, the messenger Elbella stopped in front of an ancient stone door.

Odysseus looked around and saw that they were now in a corridor made of stone bricks.

This corridor seems to be very old, and the stone bricks have become much darker due to oxidation.

It seemed like no one had been here for a long time. Although no insects or small animals had settled here, the entire corridor still looked very solid and showed no signs of collapse.

But Odysseus' spirit clearly felt that there had been no human presence here for a long time.

Odysseus was about to ask where this was. He had originally thought that he was going to steal materials from a demigod, but now it didn't seem like it!

But before she could ask, Elbella had already gently touched the stone door with her hand.

Click~
The extraordinary mechanism was activated and the stone door opened suddenly.

There was also a stone corridor outside, but there were torches there, and it was obvious that people were often walking there or taking care of it.

Without thinking, Elbella stepped in, and Odysseus followed her in.

The messenger looked ahead and said, "This way... No, it's more like that way."

Odysseus was somewhat helpless: "Are you sure what we are looking for is here?"

"I know it's here, but I'm not sure which room it is." Elbella explained, "It should be here."

She led the way, and the two of them quickly came to a stone chamber. This stone chamber had no stone door, so they could see the scene inside.

When Odysseus saw the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" pattern on the box inside, he felt like his hair was about to explode!
Just as he was about to use his extraordinary ability to escape, he heard hurried footsteps at the end of the corridor. A guard wearing a bishop's robe from the Steam Church appeared at the end of the corridor. The guard was stunned when he saw Elbella Odis.

Because this is a very enclosed space with only one entrance and exit, and he was guarding there just now. He really couldn't figure out how these two people got in?

Maybe he was stunned for only a second, or even less than a second, before the other party immediately reacted and rushed to one of the stone chambers to put on the seal to deal with the invader.

As Elbella raised her hand, suddenly a huge force came from somewhere, knocking the other person down and pressing him to the ground.

She said to Odysseus, "Go find them quickly. The demigods stationed here should be coming to support us soon."

Odysseus was stunned for a moment, then he entered the stone chamber and asked, "Where on earth is this?"

Elebella replied, "Under the Steam Church in Constantine."

Constant is an important industrial city in northern Loen. It is home to a large number of believers in the "God of Steam and Machinery", and the Church of Steam also has a large church here.

The Church of Steam has three cathedrals in Loen guarded by demigods: one is the Lever Cathedral in Backlund, one is the cathedral in the industrial city of Enmat, and the other is the cathedral where Odysseus and Elbella are.

While searching, Odysseus asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming to the Steam Church to steal materials?"

"You didn't even ask!"

"I..." Odysseus thought to himself: How the hell did I think you were going to rob the Steam Church?
From Elbella's tone at the time, it seemed that she was going to steal materials from a demigod, but he never imagined that the demigod would be the Archbishop of the Church of Steam.

However, Odysseus reacted at this time. Now the "God of Steam and Machinery" could not attack him directly. Although such an action today seemed dangerous, if he acted quickly enough, he would only face the obstruction of a demigod at most.

After figuring this out, Odysseus stopped running and started looking for the auxiliary materials he needed as soon as possible.

Following spiritual guidance, Odysseus quickly found the "liquid brains of the phantom multi-body worms", and found two at once, and also found the "blood of the colorful pterosaur" next to it.

That was another auxiliary material, and Odysseus took it away without hesitation.

At this time, the demigod stationed in the cathedral had come to support. He used the power of faith in the church to make his body grow taller. Illusory metal parts rolled out from under his skin, forming a slightly bloated large mechanical puppet.

Odysseus was slightly stunned by the shape. This mechanical puppet had the industrial aesthetic of this era. The gears, springs and levers looked very sophisticated.

This large mechanical puppet clenched its fists and slammed them together in front of it. With a "bang", it emitted a light gray light.

Odysseus felt that the vitality of the entire corridor was being rapidly drained away.

Elbella shook her shining index finger, as if writing something quickly in the air.

In an instant, a wall of light formed in front of her, blocking the feeling of being drained away from her life.

"Let's go!" Odysseus took out the "Staff of Gus" and said.

"Don't use any witchcraft to escape from here." Elbella said as she returned to the previous stone door and opened it again.

Arriving at the seemingly deserted corridor, Elebella quickly closed the stone door before saying, "Use any escape spells in there... not just spells, but any extraordinary ability you use to escape from there, and your ultimate destination will be the Steam Church headquarters."

Then she turned into a ray of light again and left with Odysseus.

The two did not return to Backlund, but instead came to a wilderness.

Elebella smiled and said, "This operation was very successful."

"Next time we have such an operation, we must discuss the destination." Odysseus said seriously.

But he was saying in his heart: I thought you were going to take me to the Steam Church and hand me over to their angels to be imprisoned!
Odysseus was deeply upset at the time, feeling he shouldn't have trusted Elebella so easily, having made such a serious misjudgment. He was also puzzled as to why the horoscopes he had made in the "Wild Land of Knowledge" were inaccurate.
"I'm very familiar with that place." Elbella smiled. "It used to be a secret base of the Stiano family. Almost no one knew about that secret door."

Odysseus was stunned: "Even the 'God of Steam' doesn't know?"

"He knows." Elbella said, "It is because he knows that I concluded that there must be the auxiliary materials you need there."

Odysseus suddenly understood: "Perhaps the 'God of Steam' is the one who supports my promotion the most."

According to Elbella, only when Odysseus is promoted to Sequence 3 can the "God of Steam" take the opportunity to influence him.

Moreover, the "God of Steam" obviously guessed that if Odysseus could not find those key auxiliary materials elsewhere, he would definitely seek help from the messenger, and the messenger would most likely take him to the basement of the cathedral to try his luck.

After all, for Elbella, getting there was as easy as going to her own backyard.

Thinking of this, Odysseus said to Elbella, "Next time, you must explain it clearly."

He thought to himself: Otherwise it would be really scary. For you, it's just a sister going to her brother's house to get something, but for me, it's like going to my mortal enemy's house to rob!

Elebela agreed and said, "Remember to call me when you get promoted."

After saying this, she disappeared into the void.

Odysseus once again checked the auxiliary materials he had obtained this time, confirming that the crystal box that sealed them was still effective, before returning them to the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and returning to Backlund.

The main materials have been gathered, and now we just have to wait for the ceremony.

That evening, Odysseus received a letter from Hugh, confirming that Dwayne Dantès had left Backlund on a military airship.

In that case, he would have less than a week left to exact his revenge.

Odysseus had no intention of going to the southern continent together, because this incident would cause him to encounter Adam, so he wanted to stay away from him as far as possible.

But then he thought again, there is actually nothing to be afraid of even if he meets Adam again. The other party is now focused on promotion and it is impossible for him to cause trouble at this time.

Moreover, the opponent is an angel king and is not within the protection range of the "novice period", so it is too easy to deal with Odysseus.

Now Odysseus is still alive and well, which is enough to prove that the other party has no intention of harming him.

Thinking of this, Odysseus was considering whether he should go to watch the fun and witness the fulfillment of his own "prophecy"?
But in the end, I gave up the idea. It's pretty good in Backlund.

In the following days, Odysseus was waiting for news from the southern continent, or rather, waiting for spiritual perception.

If his "prophecy" achieves the effect of promotion, then his spirituality will definitely be able to sense it.

On the third day after Dwayne Dantes left, Odysseus felt that one of his "prophecies" had "come true."

It was the prophecy that Silver City severed the connection between the "artificial Grim Reaper" and their former chief's mausoleum. It seemed that the problem of Silver City had been solved.

This "prophecy" can only be said to barely meet the standards for promotion. We still have to wait and see if Klein's revenge incident can have a better effect.

Then Odysseus suddenly thought of the recent series of actions of the "Artificial God of Death" and the "Spirit Cult". Could it be that they had a premonition of something?
The "Death God" path does not have the ability of "prophecy", but after reaching a higher level, one should have some premonition of one's own destiny.

The "Artificial Death God" may have vaguely sensed that the "Goddess of Night" might take action, so it tried to borrow the connection of the former Chief of Silver City and escape to the "God-Forsaken Land"? At the same time, the arrangement on Bradrick was also attempted to revive him at this time.

Odysseus shook his head, not daring to say whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate plan.

Because the "artificial god of death" does not seem to be very intelligent, and it is unknown whether it can complete such a plan?
Two days later, around nine in the morning, Odysseus appeared in his office as usual. He seemed to be doing his embassy work, but in fact he was reading the letters and documents sent by his subordinates through messengers.

Because of the existence of the Extraordinary Messenger, Odysseus can completely realize "cloud office". Even if he is not in the Violent Sea or in Lenburg, he can still grasp the intelligence there and the development of his own forces.

At this moment, his spirit seemed to sense something, and a woman in an intricate and gorgeous black dress suddenly appeared from the void.

She had no head, a neat cut at her neck. In her hands, she held four identical heads, each with blond hair, red eyes, and bright features. Odysseus was stunned. Wasn't this Klein's messenger? This was the first time he had seen one.

One of the other heads held a letter in its mouth and placed it on Odysseus's desk.

After thanking him, Odysseus opened the letter and took a look. The content of the letter was very simple. Klein asked him to meet at the dock on Cruz Island at 3 pm.

Odysseus pondered for a moment, not quite understanding what Klein wanted. Why would he suddenly look for him? Did he want to have a drink with him?
Then Odysseus discovered that Klein's messenger, Renette Tinicole, had not left.

So he asked, "Is there anything else?"

The four heads of the messenger spoke one after another: "Payment... for delivering the letter... one... gold coin."

Only then did Odysseus remember Klein's behavior of "fleecing others".

As he took out his wallet, he thought to himself: I'm already a millionaire, but I'm still short of this one gold coin?
As a result, he found to his embarrassment that there were no gold coins in his wallet, only a few copper pennies.

So Odysseus asked, "Do you want copper coins?"

"No."

"Where are the banknotes?" Odysseus asked again. "Banknotes are more convenient to carry and you don't have to worry about losing them."

Old gentlemen in Loen still have the habit of carrying a few gold coins in their wallets, but most people no longer have this habit because coins are easy to lose. Losing a copper penny is not a big deal, but a gold coin is too valuable, and losing it would be a huge loss.

Odysseus also had no habit of carrying gold coins. To be honest, when he first came here, he didn't even have the habit of carrying a wallet. When he went out, he would just check his keys and cell phone.

The messenger remained unmoved: "No."

"Can you write an IOU first and ask the sender to pay?"

"No."

"Then please wait a moment." Odysseus called the secretary helplessly and asked him to go to the Finance Department as soon as possible to get a few gold coins.

After getting the gold coin, the messenger disappeared into the void.

After the messenger left, Odysseus suddenly thought: What did this messenger want the gold coins for? Could it be that the currency of the spiritual world is gold coins?
Odysseus scratched his head: It can’t be that the money-grubber’s messenger is also a money-grubber, right?
Oh, right!

Odysseus thought of the five gold coins with the special aura of "Fool".

The messenger lady's spirituality seemed to be able to sense that she could obtain a special gold coin from Klein.

He smiled at the thought and began to wonder what Klein wanted to talk to him about.

But he didn't think too much about it, because he remembered very clearly that although Klein's revenge process this time was three mid-series fighting a demigod, he had Adam as the "referee" and the help of the "Goddess of Night", so the whole process was relatively smooth.

The only regrettable thing was probably Daly's sacrifice. At this moment, Odysseus was also wondering whether to save her. After all, for him, beating up a Sequence 4 was very easy.

"0-08" is indeed a problem, but Odysseus remembered that Adam would help deal with this level 0 seal.

Thinking of this, Odysseus shook his head and decided to "go with the flow". He would help if he met someone, even if it was arranged by Adam.

If you can't touch it, forget it.

Odysseus thought again: Maybe in the afternoon, if Klein comes to see me for help, I can give him a few demigod-level scrolls.

Odysseus has no use for this high-level scroll now. He originally planned to reward it to his subordinates, but there has not been any major action recently, so he cannot give it as a reward with a legitimate reason.

So he still has more than a dozen high-level scrolls in his hands, which can cause damage to demigods.

So Odysseus stopped wasting time and continued to work. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Odysseus arrived at the dock of Cruz Island.

It was quite lively here at this time. You could see many merchant ships and cargo ships unloading cargo. Those were not legitimate merchant ships and cargo ships, but the pirates' spoils of war and the stolen goods they sold.

Because merchant ships and cargo ships are too slow, most pirates will choose to sell them cheaply.

After Cruz Island is acquired, it will be shipped to the port in Plain Town, painted and simply modified before being sold at a high price.

"You've earned so much gold that your safe is full, right?" Klein suddenly appeared and said.

Today he still met Odysseus under the identity of German Sparrow.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Then buy a bigger safe."

He then continued, “Everyone knows that the business of selling stolen goods is profitable, so many people are eyeing Cruz Island.

"Even the navy providing protection to the Sword of Dawn was no exception. Some officers even went to the island and openly demanded bribes from me."

Klein was stunned, but then continued, "I've also heard that most of the revenue from all the stolen goods sales channels at sea will eventually flow to the Navy or the Governor's Office."

"I haven't finished yet." Odysseus smiled and said, "I didn't give it to them, and I told them very clearly that I would either help them block the navy of the Kingdom of Feynapotter or do some dirty work for them occasionally.

"Or I won't fight the navy and pirates, but I can offer them bribes and let them choose for themselves."

Odysseus spread his hands and said, "It's impossible that they all want it, right?"

Klein concluded, "The Navy will definitely find a way to deal with you."

"They did." Odysseus smiled and said, "I just told them that after the Feynaporte military sent out three Sequence 3s and failed to kill me, they have been actively negotiating cooperation with me.

“So, without exception, they all chose to let me continue targeting the navy of the Feynaport Kingdom.

"To them, that's their military achievements, the capital for promotion. Compared to money, they still care more about their own official rank and advancement in the hierarchy."

Klein nodded slowly. He hadn't expected Mr. Garr to engage in such a game with the navy.

The two of them came to the beach while chatting.

This time, Odysseus used a sorcery that made him invisible, so no one around could see him and Klein.

After walking a few steps on the beach, Klein got straight to the point: "I came here hoping to seek your help."

Just a few days ago, he accompanied Mr. Azik to explore a mausoleum, where they encountered the "artificial god of death" and a god who seemed to be the "goddess of night".

Mr. Azik was forced into a deep sleep, which deprived Klein of a trustworthy high-level helper.

If we were just dealing with Captain Dunn's murderer, the renegade Bishop Ince Zangwill, we could simply ask the messenger for help.

However, Zangwill still had a Level 0 seal in his hand, so the messenger's words were a little weak.

Considering the words of the old man in Leonard's body, he could give it a try, but it would be safer to ask the demigod Odysseus for help.

After all, it is not easy to find Zangwill's trace, so we must do our best to deal with him.

Odysseus asked knowingly, "What can I help you with?"

"I have an enemy, the kind I must kill," Klein said. "As far as I know, he ascended to demigod status at the end of last year, while I'm currently only Sequence 5."

Odysseus asked, "Is it Sequence 4?"

"Yes."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

"He has a Level 0 Sealed Artifact in his hand."

Odysseus's face didn't show the surprise Klein had predicted. Instead, he continued to ask, "What's the benchmark sequence?"

"Sequence 1."

Odysseus smiled and said, "I can also borrow a Sequence 1 Sealed Artifact."

"You..." Klein realized that he had underestimated the strength of the Lord of Mysteries' subordinates. They even had a Level 0 Sealed Artifact.

But then he thought again, it didn't seem surprising that a secret organization had one or two Level 0 Sealed Artifacts.

On the contrary, Mr. Fool still doesn't have a Level 0 Sealed Artifact. Fortunately, no one knows the inside story, otherwise it would be very strange.

Klein thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem necessary to borrow a Level 0 Sealed Artifact."

He knew very well that if he simply asked Mr. Gar for help, he would be able to easily repay the debt after his ascension to Demigod. However, if he borrowed a Level 0 Sealed Artifact, it would likely take a long time to repay the debt.

Odysseus asked, "Are you sure?"

"Confirmed." Klein took a deep breath and said, "According to the intelligence I've learned, that Level 0 Sealed Artifact has a strong will to resist, and in many cases, it will only cause more trouble."

This information came from Mr. Azik, as he had once fought against Ince Zangwill and a royal demigod alone.

At that time, Azik discovered that the Level 0 Sealed Artifact really wanted to kill its owner.

Klein also learned from other sources that stories written using "0-08" should be as logical as possible. If an emergency situation arises and an illogical "plot" appears, then "0-08" will be more eager to kill the owner.

These conditions gave Klein enough room to maneuver, or in other words, cleverly utilizing the negative effects of the enemy's seals was also an important way to attack the enemy.

But the prerequisite is that there must be sufficient intelligence about the corresponding sealed objects.

Then Odysseus asked, "What kind of help do you need?"

"Please wait around the battlefield," Klein said. "If I can't stop the enemy from escaping, please take action.

"But if I can barely resolve the issue, you only need to watch. Even if you just watch, I will give you a generous reward."

Odysseus hesitated for a moment. At that moment, he even doubted whether this was Adam's arrangement, but he finally nodded: "Okay."

Because he realized that if it was Adam's arrangement, even if he refused now, he would still arrive at the battlefield due to various coincidences.

Besides, even if Adam had arranged it, he wouldn't stand idly by if Klein asked for help.

After saying that, Odysseus took out a crystal ball and said, "Before you take any action, inject spirituality into this crystal ball. I will be notified and can follow the path of the crystal ball to find the target."

After becoming a demigod, the signals conveyed by Odysseus's crystal ball can travel over longer distances.

However, due to the long distance between the South Continent and the North Continent, it is impossible to use the crystal ball to make real-time calls. Only a weak signal can be transmitted, but this is enough.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay.

"If there's anything else I can do for you, I'll write to you again."

After finishing the business, the two chatted for a while and then left.

Back in Backlund's office, Odysseus smiled. He hadn't expected that he would go from being a spectator to a participant.

But it's okay, this way we can save Daly.

But what Odysseus was a little unsure about was whether Daly needed his rescue. Perhaps sacrificing herself in revenge would be a relief for her.

After thinking about it for a while, Odysseus decided to rescue the other person first.

If the other party still chooses to commit suicide for love, he doesn't care.

If the other party intends to survive, then it has nothing to do with him.

After that, the waiting began again. Odysseus made some preparations while dealing with work issues.

Finally, two days later, the crystal ball in Odysseus's hand responded. He put on the "Staff of Gus" and "Scepter of Disaster", and took out the "1-86" Iron Blood Gloves as a backup.

Immediately afterwards, Odysseus "reappeared" as Suzaku and flew towards the location of the crystal ball.

A few seconds later, Odysseus landed on the ground. This was already the Resurrection Square of Kukwa City in West Balam, Uttar Pradesh.

As soon as he arrived at the square, Odysseus felt that the air here was filled with a dangerous atmosphere!
He glanced around. The square was bustling with people. Many locals were traveling in coffins, which was very local. To the passers-by, everything seemed normal.

Until Odysseus saw Anderson, who was kneeling on one knee with a stiff expression, and Danitz, who was trembling with his eyes closed in prayer.

This made Odysseus immediately realize that the battle had begun, but this time it was still a battle between Adam and the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros.

The former came to grab "0-08", and the latter came under the impetus of "0-08".

They are currently engaged in a contest that is imperceptible to normal people. Even Odysseus, who has become a demigod, cannot see it without opening the "Eye of Prying Eyes".

At this time, Odysseus saw a one-eyed man suddenly appear in the Resurrection Square.

That was Ince Zangwill, who tried to escape from the spirit world, but was stopped by Adam.

(End of this chapter)
