Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#176 - The Four Kings of the Sea
"The Hanged Man" Alger gradually began to take the records in the ancient books mentioned by "The Sun" seriously.
There were only eight ancient gods in total, and three of them died in a single God war!
This is definitely a turning point in the Second Epoch!
However, "Little Sun" Derrick obviously didn't realize this and continued, "The other two fallen ancient gods are 'Destruction Wolf' and 'Abomination King'."
This made "Justice" Audrey sigh, "These distant histories always fill people with endless imagination.
"I really want to know the cause and process of this battle."
"I'm sorry," Derrick said with some shame, "I checked many ancient books, but I couldn't find any corresponding information, so I can't meet your needs."
"It's okay," Audrey said with a smile, "The information you provided is enough for you to receive the reward you deserve."
"Little Sun" breathed a sigh of relief, sat there obediently, and continued to listen to others "paying rewards."
"The Magician" Forsi then said, "I will offer the second chapter of 'Spiritual World Anecdotes' to Mr. Fool at the end of the gathering."
Audrey nodded, "Okay."
At this time, Alger cleared his throat and said, "Among the four kings at sea, the one I know the most about is 'King of the Five Seas' Nast Solomon.
"It is said that he is a descendant of the Solomon Empire's royal family, and his father was once knighted as a Count by Emperor Rosell, and later he inherited the title."
"Emperor Rosell!" Audrey said with a smile, "I didn't expect the Emperor..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought, "That was more than a hundred years ago!"
Alger smiled and repeated, "Yes, that was more than a hundred years ago."
Audrey opened her mouth, "That's an... an angel?"
"No, as far as I know, 'King of the Five Seas' is a demigod!" Alger replied.
Forsi exclaimed, "I didn't expect a demigod to already possess such a long lifespan."
"Little Sun" had a lot to say about this, "Our Chief of Silver City is already over ninety years old, but his combat power is still very strong, and he looks only forty years old."
Audrey and Forsi nodded together, gaining a new understanding of "demigod half-human".
Alger continued, "The bounty for 'King of the Five Seas' is as high as 800,000 pounds!"
Audrey thought to herself, compared to this bounty, the dowry I can get is only 300,000 pounds.
"He adheres to the virtue of not killing prisoners and is recognized as the 'Pirate King'," Alger said, "The most widespread stories are about his deeds.
"His flagship is the 'Black Emperor', and last week Mr. "World" just told me a message that this ship originally belonged to Emperor Rosell."
Forsi said, "I heard that during the Age of Discovery, various countries ennobled many pirates in order to compete for the wealth of the Southern Continent. It seems this is true."
Audrey also sighed, "Emperor Rosell still had good vision. The object of his ennoblement actually became the current King of the Sea."
"The Fool" Klein thought to himself, that guy probably mainly valued the other party's royal bloodline, or rather, valued the other party's destiny.
After a brief discussion, Alger continued, "The second King of the Sea is the 'Mysterious Queen'. It is said that she is also the leader of 'Dawn of Elements', but because she is too mysterious, people don't even know her name.
"All that is known is that she is a rather beautiful woman, a demigod of the 'Seer' pathway.
"But some people also speculate that the 'Mysterious Queen' has a rather powerful sealed artifact in her hand, because 'Dawn of Elements' has been fighting against the 'Moses Ascetics'.
"And the 'Moses Ascetics' believe in the evil god 'Hidden Sage'. If the 'Mysterious Queen' was just a demigod, 'Dawn of Elements' should have been destroyed by the 'Moses Ascetics' long ago."
Audrey's focus was on another aspect: "I didn't expect there to be women among the Pirate Kings."
Generally speaking, women don't seem to have much to do with pirates. Often, women are victims of pirate looting.
Alger was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yes.
"'Mysterious Queen's' flagship is the 'Dawn', and her bounty is also 800,000 pounds."
He paused and continued, "Another King of the Sea is 'Undying King' Agalito, his flagship is the 'Death Knell', and the bounty is 100,000 pounds.
"This is a very evil pirate who has committed many heinous and bloody crimes.
"But generally, few ships can actively encounter him, especially ships with naval or church powerhouses. They have never encountered the 'Death Knell'.
"And most of the ships that have encountered the 'Death Knell' have been sunk by the 'Undying King'.
"Some people suspect that this Pirate King should have the ability to foresee danger."
Klein, who was listening on the side, thought to himself, this is very similar to the ability of a "Demon"!
Alger continued, "There are also rumors that the 'Undying King' once drank the water of the 'Fountain of Youth', so he has an almost infinite lifespan."
Audrey's eyes lit up again: "Is there really a 'Fountain of Youth'?"
"I don't know," Alger said, "But decades ago, there were rumors about the 'Undying King'."
After speaking, Alger leaned back in his chair, seemingly waiting for "World" to pay the reward.
Audrey asked somewhat strangely, "Mr. Hanged Man, aren't there four Pirate Kings? Why have you only mentioned three?"
"I only mentioned three?" Alger recalled for a moment before saying, "Sorry, I forgot to mention 'King of the Black Throne'.
"Well, this king is very mysterious. There is basically no information about him at sea. His name is unknown, and even the name of his flagship is unknown."
Klein thought to himself, how did such a low-key person become a "Pirate King"?
That is the king of the sea, not something anyone can become if they want to, or rather, without a powerful force, it is impossible to become a king.
And the title of "Four Kings" has been called for decades, and each king should be a widely recognized powerhouse.
In other words, a person whose name is unknown and whose strength is unknown cannot become the King of the Sea?
In addition, he noticed that "Hanged Man's" reaction seemed a bit off. This is a cautious and very smart person, and shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
Regarding the last "King of the Black Throne", Audrey also felt that Mr. "Hanged Man's" description was too simple.
However, because the previous descriptions were relatively detailed, she still said, "Thank you for providing this information, which has given me a new understanding of the forces at sea."
At this time, Odis said, "Regarding this 'King of the Black Throne', I have heard some information about him.
Everyone looked at "The Hermit", especially Alger, who valued information about the sea very much.
Audrey asked, "Mr. Hermit, what reward do you hope to receive?"
"No reward is needed," Odis said, "I don't know much either, let's just exchange information."
He paused and then said, "I heard that this 'King of the Black Throne' is a demigod of the 'Spectator' pathway.
"The ability of this pathway's demigod has a characteristic that is easily overlooked by everyone. Some people also say that as long as someone has heard the name 'King of the Black Throne', they will easily overlook 'King of the Black Throne'."
Klein manipulated "World" and said, "Then, will no one remember his detailed information?"
People who have heard of the "King of the Black Throne" easily overlook him, and those who have not heard of the name do not know the existence of this Pirate King, then this "Pirate King" becomes very "low-key".
However, the demigods and "high-sequence" extraordinary individuals among the official extraordinary individuals will definitely not ignore the existence of the "King of the Black Throne", so although he has always been overlooked, he is still one of the "Four Kings".
Audrey also seemed to understand something: "No wonder Mr. 'Hanged Man' only mentioned three kings just now. It turns out that because he had heard information about the 'King of the Black Throne', he overlooked this king."
Forsi sighed, "What a weird ability."
Alger pinched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "I didn't notice this at all."
Klein manipulated "World" and said, "This is the most terrifying aspect of the 'Spectator' pathway."
As he spoke, he looked at "Justice".
At this time, Audrey was somewhat happy in addition to being surprised: A demigod of the "Spectator" pathway already possesses such terrifying abilities! Well, with the "Psychological Alchemy Society" providing resources and the help of the "Tarot Club" members, perhaps I also have the possibility of becoming a demigod!
However, Audrey quickly woke up from her yearning for the future: "Mr. Hermit, thank you for providing the information, which has allowed us to understand the truth about the 'King of the Black Throne'."
Alger also nodded slowly. Without "The Hermit's" reminder, he might never have noticed the "King of the Black Throne's" strange ability.
Odis smiled slightly, indicating that it was nothing.
The transaction continued, and everyone looked at "World".
Klein manipulated "World" and said, "Last week, I learned that the master of the serial killer sent threatening letters to the detectives who participated in the investigation of the case at that time."
Everyone knew that the serial killer was a sequence 6 extraordinary creature, so "World" didn't need to continue explaining, and everyone understood what he meant.
While "World" was telling this story, Klein kept staring at "The Hermit".
In fact, there was a certain risk in describing this information, as it might expose the fact that "World" was Sherlock.
But this is precisely the purpose of a "small account." If sacrificing "The World" can reveal the true strength of "The Hermit," it would be worth it. At worst, I can just create another "small account."
However, Audis did not react at all, forcing Klein's probing to stop there.
What he didn't know was that Audis actually didn't know how to react. When Audis heard Klein mention this matter, he was wondering whether to use this opportunity to "recognize" Klein.
But Audis immediately thought that letting Klein know that "The Hermit" was Mr. X was meaningless at this time. It would be better to establish contact when needed in the future.
Fors, hearing this, commented: "So rampant?"
"Later, some people analyzed that he did it on purpose." "The World" continued: "The mastermind behind the scenes was 'The Criminal,' also known to everyone as Sequence 5 of the 'Demon' pathway, 'Apostle of Desire.'
"Several Beyonders among the detectives, as well as a righteous person from Backlund, held back the 'Apostle of Desire' and seriously injured him."
"But the 'Apostle of Desire' still managed to escape, only to encounter official Beyonders who had arrived and were killed by them."
Audis scratched his head: "A righteous person from Backlund"? This description is a bit speechless. Wouldn't "Hero of Backlund" sound much better?
Fors thought to herself: "The World's" description is too stable. It sounds like it should have been a very intense battle, but he described it like a cultural report, which is not very interesting. But fortunately, the hidden danger in Backlund has been eliminated.
Alger, on the other hand, was considering: Is "The World" one of those "extraordinary detectives," or is he that "righteous person from Backlund"? He can't possibly be someone from the official Beyonders, right?
Audrey was also very interested in the so-called "righteous person": "Mr. World, who are those detectives? And who is that righteous person?"
Klein did not continue to explain, but only manipulated "The World" to say: "The information I obtained is limited. I only know this much."
Audrey was somewhat disappointed: "Oh."
Then she smiled and said: "At least we know that the danger in Backlund has disappeared."
At this time, Alger asked "The World": "Can you talk about what abilities the 'Apostle of Desire' roughly has?"
Previously, when they communicated at the Tarot Club, they only knew that the ritual to advance to "Apostle of Desire" was to create a series of murders, but they were not very clear about the abilities of this pathway.
"'Apostles of Desire' can manipulate their emotions and desires, or use desires and emotions to plant seeds of 'corruption,' detonating them at critical moments," Klein manipulated "The World" to say:
"In addition, he also has a special ability to sense actions or plans that are unfavorable to him and know who is acting against him."
"This ability is a bit like some of the manifestations of the 'King of Undying,'" Alger immediately said.
"The World" only nodded and said nothing.
Audrey said: "So, is the 'King of Undying' an 'Apostle of Desire'?"
"Perhaps he is a demigod of the 'Demon' pathway," Fors said. "The other three kings are all demigods."
Audrey nodded, indicating her agreement with Fors's guess.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," who had rich combat experience, paused and then said: "So, when fighting the 'Apostle of Desire,' one cannot have too intense emotions, nor too strong desires."
"Yes," Klein manipulated "The World" to say. "But that is very difficult to do."
Alger smiled: "Fortunately, Beyonders of this pathway are not common."
The entire transaction and information exchange ended here. Seeing that everyone in the hall had quieted down, Fors initiated a new transaction. She said to "Little Sun": "You can help me hunt 'Spirit Eaters' now."
