Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

"Hanged Man" Alger was slightly stunned when he heard "The Hermit's" words: The problem in Bansy Harbor is not just about offering sacrifices to the evil god?

The other members, upon hearing that this matter first involved an evil god and later involved "Red Angel" Medici, were gradually drawn to it.

"Justice" Audrey asked before "Hanged Man": "Mr. 'Hermit', what kind of contamination did they suffer?"

"I don't know, but it is said that the contamination is very advanced and very evil," Audis said. "So the angel among the descendants of 'Medici' became an evil god."

Angel!

Alger immediately asked: "Is there an angel in Bansy Harbor?"

"This is my guess," Audis said truthfully. "Just now you also said that the local evil god is called 'God of Weather', and I learned from other places that the name of the potion at the angel level of the 'Hunter' pathway is called 'Weather Warlock'."

Everyone was slightly stunned, not expecting to hear such information during the exchange session.

Alger, after being a little surprised, immediately asked: "Was that angel contaminated?"

"That's what I learned," Audis said.

So, the matter in Bansy Harbor is very serious.

Alger pondered for a moment before asking "The Hermit": "Can I report part of this information to the church?"

Only a part can be reported, because there is a lot of information that he cannot collect at his current level. Reporting it would instead arouse suspicion.

Audis smiled and said: "Of course."

Klein, at the head of the bronze long table, fell into deep thought. If based on the pressure he felt at the time, it was indeed possible that it was an evil god at the angel level.

Before this, he had always thought it was a demigod, because if it were an angel, even without seeing Him, his spirituality would be affected.

However, after Klein returned to the "White Magnolia", he carefully checked and found that he had not been affected in any way, so he guessed that it was a demigod-level existence.

An angel in a strange state is also plausible. It's just that he couldn't understand why an angel who had been contaminated didn't contaminate them?

Soon, he had another association: In Bansy Harbor, the scene in the telegraph office was obviously wrong, as well as the Chamber of Commerce that "The Hermit" had visited, and No. 15 on the next street all had problems. But if you don't push the door open, these problems are only inside the door and will not affect the outside.

So, the main body of that contaminated angel is not on the streets of Bansy Harbor. The pressure we felt was likely just an extra manifestation of Him searching for something, not pressure directed at us.

Perhaps the main body of the evil god is also behind "a certain door", so we were not contaminated by Him.

Thinking of this, Klein came back to his senses. At this time, "The Moon" Emlyn was asking for help: "Everyone, I have a question.

"The thing is, suppose, there is a strong person who arranges for you to investigate something. Although you successfully obtained the information, you cannot report to that strong person due to certain reasons.

"Then, how should you continue to obtain support from that strong person… Mr. 'Hermit', you… what are you laughing at?"

Audis couldn't help but laugh: "I, I thought of a joke I heard before attending the gathering."

Saying that, he took a deep breath, and his expression became serious again: Careless, careless, I couldn't help it, but… but who would have thought that "The Moon" would suddenly come up with this.

In fact, not only did he laugh, but other members also showed smiles on their faces to varying degrees.

Klein behind the gray fog had the urge to cover his face: If you were caught by the official Extraordinary, there would be no need to use torture, or even interrogation. Just chat with you, and you would have to take the initiative to tell all the secrets.

"Suppose," Emlyn emphasized again: "Suppose!"

"We know," "Justice" Audrey quickly comforted. "I just think that the character you hypothesized is a very capable person who easily completed the strong person's request."

These words hit the mark, and Emlyn immediately lost his temper, while the corners of his mouth slightly raised and said: "Yes."

Then Audrey and other members turned their attention to "Hanged Man". In their minds, Mr. "Hanged Man" has very rich experience in this regard.

Alger glanced at "The Moon" and said: "It's very simple, but you must bear certain risks."

Emlyn subconsciously denied: "It's not me!"

This was his last stubbornness.

Alger smiled and responded: "Suppose it's you."

He paused and then said: "You can slowly show some abnormalities in your daily life, so that the strong person notices that you have a problem.

"He will have two choices. One is to directly interrogate you, but this will easily break the clues. The second is to inadvertently provide you with help so that you can do more in-depth investigations and then send someone to monitor you.

"I think the second possibility is the greatest. The risk you need to bear is how to not expose the information you want to hide under surveillance."

Emlyn was stunned: It can be like this?

Then he thought: I won't be exposed. Every time I participate in the Tarot Gathering, I rest in the Harvest Church. The people sent by Lord Nibbs to monitor me will never approach the Harvest Church.

Then, he immediately remembered something and said to "Hanged Man": "Didn't you ask last week how to make everyone on a ship fall asleep at the same time?

"I can provide a magical anesthetic gas that can spread effectively and has no irritating odor. Even if you smell it directly on the deck, it will cause coma.

"Of course, you'd better choose a night with little wind.

"It can create more than three hours of sleep, after which the effect will continue to decrease.

"100 pounds a can, plus an extra 30 pounds for my reward."

Alger thought for a moment and then said: "Okay."

He didn't bargain because he wanted to establish a certain image in front of "The Moon" to prepare for subsequent major transactions.

When the exchange session was nearing its end, Klein manipulated "The World" and said to "Justice" and "The Magician": "Ladies, can you help me buy a radio receiver?"

He accidentally obtained the telegraph frequency and password of "Blood Admiral" and the intelligence officers scattered throughout the Berserk Sea, and planned to use the receiver to obtain the approximate location of the other party.

"The Magician" Forsi said: "I can try."

At a writer's salon a few days ago, she had just heard a science fiction writer talk about the telegraph machine, so she could ask that science fiction writer to help buy it.

After exchanging a few more words, Klein announced the end of the gathering.

…

East Chester County, in the castle of Earl Hall's territory.

Audrey returned to the real world, first sacrificed the gold pounds used for the transaction, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "The Hermit" is Lelouch! No wonder I always had a feeling that Lelouch was not far from me. It turned out that we could meet at the weekly gathering.

Then she sighed in her heart: Being a pirate on the sea, that is also my long-time dream, digging for treasure, fighting pirates, a different adventure every day, leaving a legendary story on the sea.

At this time, Susie, who was on guard, came in from the outside. After looking up at Audrey, she said: "Audrey, you seem to suddenly know something happy?"

"Yes," Audrey said. "I thought of a very interesting thing."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to write to the post office and ask if they have local newspapers in the Berserk Sea?" Audrey walked to the desk: "If so, I will subscribe to a few copies."

She believed that through those newspapers, she would be able to find clues about Lelouch's whereabouts.

Susie tilted her head, seeming not to understand what was so happy about this?

…

Raxia Island, inside the Emerald Palace.

Audis opened his eyes, saw the roof of the Emerald Palace, stayed for a while, and then, like last week, brought candles and spiritual materials to a deserted island.

After setting up the altar, Audis waited for more than ten minutes and received a notice from Mr. Fool to perform the granting ceremony.

Soon he received 3150 pounds in cash and three Extraordinary materials at Sequence 9 level.

This time Audis had a great harvest at the Tarot Gathering. First, he completed the transaction of Extraordinary characteristics with "Hanged Man" and obtained 1150 pounds.

Trading information earned 2000 pounds. Originally, he could only get 1800 pounds, but after explaining the adjacent pathways to "The Moon", he added 200 pounds, so he finally got 2000 pounds in total.

Then Audis sacrificed the Extraordinary characteristics of "Briber" and four Transcendent weapons. At the same time, the Transcendent weapon transaction also left him owing "The Sun" 60 pounds.

After completing the transaction, Audis returned to the Emerald Palace. He was just wondering where to eat a meal to celebrate his promotion when Ailiya came to visit and brought the first batch of parts produced by the foundry.

Previously, Audis commissioned the foundry on Raxia Island to produce a batch of metal parts, and the first batch of parts was delivered today.

Not many, only two sets, mainly for Audis to check whether they meet his requirements.

Audis thanked her and invited Ailiya to have a cup of tea.

After sending Ailiya away, he simply used "Travel" to go to "Craftsman" Diff. Sure enough, the Extraordinary parts he commissioned this "Craftsman" to make had also been completed, but he had not had time to send someone to Audis.

Audis paid 2600 Ferkens, about 110 pounds, chatted for a few words, and Audis returned to the Emerald Palace, took out the pedal-powered engraving tool he made from the "Knowledge Wilderness", and began to engrave mysterious symbols on the metal parts he brought from the foundry.

The entire blueprint of the "Extraordinary Puppet" was in Audis's mind. He knew exactly which parts needed to be engraved with which symbols.

Originally, he just wanted to carve for a while and then go to Bayam around six o'clock for a good meal.

However, once he started working, Audis immediately put his heart and soul into it, carving one part after another.

In the end, he found that he had carved out a set of parts, so he simply took out the corresponding extraordinary materials and coated the carved mystical symbols with spiritual materials.

While Audis was assembling the "Puppet", he heard Bernadette's personal maid ask outside: "Mr. Audis, are you there? Mr. Audis?"

Audis was stunned for a moment before asking, "I'm here, what's the matter?"

"'The Queen' asked me to invite you to dinner," the personal maid said.

In fact, Bernadette's original words were: This guy is usually quite active during meal times. Go and see if he's in his room. If he's not, don't wait for him.

Audis said, "Please ask 'The Queen' to come to my place. Tell her I have something very important to discuss with her."

The personal maid was taken aback for a moment, but still said, "Alright."

Audis continued to assemble the "Extraordinary Puppet". When he felt that there was suddenly another person in the room, he said, "Wait a moment, it will be done soon."

At this time, he had already assembled the "Extraordinary Puppet's" torso. After installing the breastplate with the magic array inside, Audis installed the crystal-like part manufactured by Div into the "Puppet's" hollow abdomen.

After fixing it, the remaining parts were relatively easy. The steel spine had already been installed, and then the back armor and the steel neck were attached.

This neck was very thin, with a bowl-shaped container on top.

Audis put the hexahedral Rubik's Cube into the container and smiled, "Watch carefully, the first 'Extraordinary Puppet' is born."

As he spoke, Audis looked back and saw Bernadette, who had been silently watching.

Seeing that the audience was indeed there, Audis injected the initial spirituality into the iron fellow's lower back. The iron fellow's abdomen immediately emitted a soft light.

That was the magic array gathering spirituality began to operate, and then the faint light was connected by magic arrays and spiritual materials, spreading upwards and downwards in two different directions.

When it reached the neck, the bowl-shaped container also emitted a faint pure white light, and the extraordinary symbols within gradually lit up.

The hexahedral Rubik's Cube slowly floated up, gradually turning into a shape with a pointed corner facing down.

Click~

The Rubik's Cube suddenly rotated on its own, and the entire "Extraordinary Puppet" seemed to tremble.

Audis said, "Go and pour me a glass of water."

Click~ Click Click~

The Rubik's Cube rotated a few more times, and then the "Extraordinary Puppet" began to move, turning around and walking towards the table.

During this process, the sound of metal parts rubbing could be heard, but soon the sound of rubbing became smaller and smaller, and the "Extraordinary Puppet" walked more and more smoothly.

It poured a glass of water and then brought it to Audis.

Although the "Extraordinary Puppet's" movements were very stiff, and it spilled a little water, it was not a big problem.

Audis took a sip of water and asked Bernadette, "How is it?"

Bernadette seemed to suddenly come back to her senses: "You... how did you do it?"

If it was an extraordinary person at the demigod level, it wouldn't be a big deal to create an "Extraordinary Puppet", but a Sequence 7 actually created an "Extraordinary Puppet", which was enough to surprise her.

Before this, she had always thought that the "Extraordinary Puppet" Audis mentioned was a mechanical puppet with a mechanical structure, driven by a spring, and could only perform fixed actions or do fixed things.

This kind of puppet can be used for rowing, firing cannons, and even fighting.

But she really didn't expect it to be such a delicate puppet that could execute complex commands.

To be honest, the appearance of this puppet is a bit scary at the moment. Its limbs and neck are slender, and its head is only half, but it has a strange beauty that made Bernadette a little distracted just now.

"The core technology of this puppet comes from one of my research projects: Spiritual Wave Signals," Audis explained: "I found that if spirituality is studied in a wave-like manner, the 'waves' it forms can generate completely different signals under stimuli of different lengths, strengths, and distances.

"Theoretically speaking, this signal has countless different combinations.

"And inside this Rubik's Cube, each small piece has a corresponding mystical symbol. The spirituality, after being 'processed' by the mystical symbols inside the Rubik's Cube, can form a complex 'combined signal'.

"The 'combined signal' then returns to the magic array in the 'Puppet's' abdomen, which can drive different magic arrays to complete complex or simple actions..."

"Oh, by the way, after installing the upper half of its head, it can actually speak."

Bernadette looked at the "Extraordinary Puppet" in a daze. She understood every theory Audis said, but when they were combined, she couldn't quite understand it.

After a while, she asked, "What exactly can this 'Puppet' do... um, I mean, how complex a job can it do?"

"It can't do creative work," Audis thought for a while, stroking his chin: "For example, asking it to design a ship or write a poem is impossible.

There is no mistake, one song, one hair, one inside, one content, one is in one look!

"However, it has the ability to learn. For example, it doesn't know how to build a ship now, but if it sees workers building a ship, it can make corresponding imitations.

"Or rather, it's called a clumsy imitation, because if there are some changes in objective conditions, such as the tool is broken, or there are not enough materials, it needs to be reminded to replace or repair the tool, or to obtain materials at a designated location, so that the shipbuilding work can continue.

"Of course, it is not 'stupid'. Next time it encounters the same problem, it will have a solution.

"Having said that, he scratched his head: "As long as it undergoes a period of learning, it can do everything except creative work, or work involving emotions, feelings, or too delicate work.

"Um, theoretically speaking, that magic can generate 400 billion trillion different instructions. Of course, the actual situation certainly doesn't require so many instructions, but this is enough for it to complete some complex tasks."

To be precise, this "Wisdom Rubik's Cube" only has six sides, so it can't do too delicate work.

If it was Audis's most complex design, a thirty-two-sided "Wisdom Rubik's Cube", the "Extraordinary Puppet's" movements would never be so stiff, it would be exactly the same as a human being, and it would also have the logic of emotions and feelings.

It can be said that except for being unable to create, it can basically do everything else.

Bernadette concluded: "This is completely different from the 'Extraordinary Puppet' in my impression."

This puppet was not made using extraordinary abilities, but a product based on logic and technological accumulation.

Bernadette suddenly felt that it was very abrupt and out of place with this extraordinary world.

At this time, Audis installed the last part of the "Extraordinary Puppet", the upper part of its head.

Audis left two glass mirror structures in the eye area, allowing the pure white light to penetrate, and after refraction by the mirror surface, it formed a light that was a bit like a gaze.

Audis asked, "Today's date."

The "Extraordinary Puppet" said in a voice that had no emotion and was somewhat vague: "Fifth Epoch, 1350, January 17th."

Audis smiled, "Remember this day, it is your birthday, and also the birthday of your race."

Then he explained to Bernadette: "You can determine whether it is operating normally by asking for the date.

"In addition, do you still remember the 'Wisdom Helmet'? After my modification of the 'Wisdom Helmet', it can also be used to instill new knowledge and common sense into it in the way of 'instilling knowledge'.

"Of course, that also involves the corresponding magic array for extracting knowledge. In the past half month, there have been considerable breakthroughs, and it should be able to enter the application stage soon."

Bernadette then came back to her senses and asked with a solemn expression: "Are you planning to use these 'Puppets' on your own ship?"

"I know what you're worried about," Audis smiled: "Their existence is too amazing, and it means that once the time is right, you can form a 'puppet army' that is absolutely loyal and fearless of hardship."

Bernadette nodded, she thought so too. The "Extraordinary Puppet" in front of her was another thing that could completely change the current world order!

Even if the major forces have the support of extraordinary power, the side with the "Extraordinary Puppet" will definitely have a great advantage.

Audis smiled easily: "I have considered this issue long ago.

"Also because of extraordinary power, if you don't understand the technology and internal structure of this 'Puppet', then this puppet is not that special."

Bernadette immediately understood what Audis meant: When people see this "Puppet", they will first think that it was made by a demigod. People's understanding of the extraordinary makes them never think that this was actually designed and manufactured by a Sequence 7.

Finally, Audis said, "And I will only tell you its technical structure and design concept.

"If there is a leak, it must be because you told someone else."

Bernadette smiled and nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you have this concept."

Audis looked out the window: "If you're not very hungry yet, I'll treat you to barbecue. Um, it will take some time to prepare the barbecue."

Bernadette "ummed" and said, "Okay."

So Audis took the "Puppet" to the kitchen and asked the chef for beef and mutton, and marinated the meat first.

During the meat cutting process, Audis put clean gloves on the "puppet". After demonstrating, he let the puppet cut the meat.

Bernadette followed behind, watching quietly.

The chefs were originally afraid to breathe because the "Mysterious Queen" was present, but later they watched this iron fellow cutting meat, as if watching some kind of performance, completely engrossed.

The servants working in the Emerald Palace knew some extraordinary knowledge, so they were not surprised why this iron fellow could move and why it could be so flexible, but felt it was novel.

In addition, some chefs were already worried that their jobs would be taken away by this iron fellow.

After marinating the meat, Audis asked the "puppet" to move the grill to the beach, and by the way, test the "puppet's" strength.

After that, moving tables and beer, the "puppet" completed the instructions.

At this time, the meat was almost marinated. Audis was still responsible for demonstrating. After skewering the meat, he grilled a handful of meat skewers, and then let the "puppet" skewer and grill the meat.

Audis sat down on the beach, listening to the waves hitting the shore. Neither of them needed lights to see everything around them, and there was moonlight tonight.

Audis poured out beer, occasionally checking the operation of the "puppet", eating skewers and drinking beer, feeling very comfortable.

Bernadette raised her glass and said, "Congratulations, you have been promoted again."

"Thank you." Audis clinked glasses with her, and then drank the beer in his glass.

Obviously, Bernadette knew that he had been promoted to Sequence 6.

Audis was not surprised by this.

Bernadette asked about Audis's condition, and after confirming that he had not been specially taken care of by the "Hidden Sage", she said: "I am issuing you a task. Originally, the reward for this task was intended to be gold pounds, but now it seems that it can be replaced by a Sequence 5 potion formula.

"However, this task is not dangerous. Its value is not enough to exchange for a Sequence 5 level formula. I can give you the formula first, and you go collect the materials. After all, it will take a long time to collect materials at this level.

"In the future, you will have to complete more tasks to offset the potion formula you owe me."

Audis nodded: "Okay, what task?"

Originally, he also planned to obtain or trade potion formulas from Bernadette.

"Investigate a person named Odell in Bayam." Bernadette said: "His nickname is 'Silver Coin Viper'."

Then she explained: "My intelligence officer in Bayam heard that Odell recently claimed to be working for me.

"The main thing is to check his background, whether he represents someone or some organization."

Audis felt that the name sounded familiar. After a little "recall", Audis, with the "God's perspective", recalled who the "Silver Coin Viper" was: Although Odell claimed to work for the "Mysterious Queen", he was actually serving the "Blood Admiral".

He couldn't remember the specific situation of this person, only that he seemed very cunning and his level didn't seem very high, so he asked: "Is it just to find out? Do you need to kill him after finding out his background?"

That way, the value of this task would be higher.

"No need." Bernadette smiled: "This kind of person can be killed at any time, but if he is alive, he may be more useful in the future."

Audis nodded: "Okay, after I finish these two days of work, I will start investigating in Bayam."

Bernadette nodded, ate a bite of grilled meat taken from the wooden skewer by her personal maid, and then took out a piece of parchment from her pocket and handed it to Audis.

Audis took it, opened it and saw it read: "Sequence 5: Astrologer

"Main materials: Core crystal of the Gleaming Starlight Tree, pituitary gland of the Trick Wyvern.

"Auxiliary materials: 50 grams of black-patterned peony essential oil, 50 grams of sap from the Misty Black Birch tree, one fruit from the Gleaming Starlight Tree, 12 grams of the liver of the Trick Wyvern.

"Ritual: Ride on the back of a Colorful Star-Eyed Beast and drink the potion in the midnight sky."

Audis frowned. Not to mention the two main materials, he had never even heard of the two auxiliary materials, black-patterned peony essential oil and misty black birch sap.

Bernadette asked with a smile: "Do you think it is difficult to advance to Sequence 5?"

For wild Beyonders, Sequence 6 is generally the limit, because when they reach Sequence 5, not only are the main materials of the potion difficult to obtain, but the advancement ritual is also difficult to complete.

Therefore, wild Beyonders, without the support of a Beyonder organization, find it difficult to become Sequence 5.

"Indeed." Audis said truthfully: "This potion formula makes me feel like I have no clue."

"If you really can't find the main materials, I can provide you with Extraordinary characteristics." Bernadette said nicely: "And I have raised three Colorful Star-Eyed Beasts, which can help you solve the ritual problem."

As one of the main Beyonder organizations of the "Seer" pathway, of course, it must have such preparations in order to avoid being affected by the "Moses Ascetics" in the promotion of internal members of the organization.

Audis felt that he suddenly saw hope.

At this time, Bernadette changed the subject and said: "However, you have to accumulate enough merits here to get these help."

Audis smiled bitterly. The debt for the potion formula has not been paid off, and he has also incurred the debt for Extraordinary characteristics and rituals?

He pondered for a while, feeling that he should try to find the main materials and the auxiliary materials on the potion formula.

After collecting the materials, it is reliable to ask the "Mysterious Queen" to help with the ritual, otherwise, relying entirely on the "Mysterious Queen", he doesn't know when he will accumulate enough merits.

Then Audis asked: "Besides doing tasks to earn merits, what else can earn merits?"

"You can do your old job." Bernadette said: "Collect intelligence, whether it is targeted at 'Dawn of Elements' or not, as long as it is valuable intelligence, you can also get merits."

Audis nodded: "I know."

That is to say, there is no way to buy merits with money.

After talking about this issue, Audis focused on the operation of the "Extraordinary Puppet" while thinking about the next plan.

He didn't expect that he would get the Sequence 5 potion formula on the day he was promoted to Sequence 6.

Audis didn't even know if this was lucky or unlucky.

If it's unlucky, some Beyonders can't get this level of formula in their entire lives.

If it's lucky, he was just promoted and hadn't had time to be happy, but was overwhelmed by the main materials and the ritual.

Seeing that the "Extraordinary Puppet" could operate normally, Audis took a deep breath: Let's not worry about continuing to advance for now, and worry about the potion in a few days. Let's enjoy the joy of promotion these few days first.

So he said: "Let's give the first 'Extraordinary Puppet' a name. There may be some improvements in the future, but this 'Puppet' is of extraordinary significance."

Bernadette nodded, agreeing with this statement: "Do you have any good names?"

"How about calling it 'Unit One'?" Audis felt for the first time that the name he had chosen was very good: "According to the previous promise, this 'Extraordinary Puppet' belongs to you."

Previously, Audis obtained the information of the "Alaman Tree" from Bernadette, and the condition was that after the "Extraordinary Puppet" was made, he would give Bernadette one.

Bernadette had no opinion on the name and gladly accepted "Unit One".

After eating and drinking, Audis simply lay on the beach, quietly watching the night sky.

Bernadette sat quietly aside, staring blankly at "Unit One" carrying the grill back.

The personal maid suddenly felt that time seemed to stand still.
