Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

First Mate Bazell and Second Mate Rupert never dreamed that the ship they were to serve on would have no one else besides "Captain Gahr" and the two of them!

Or rather, no other living people!

Watching the 'Extraordinary Puppets' skillfully preparing for departure, the two even felt a little redundant.

Audiss introduced them, "Because recruiting ordinary crew members is too troublesome, I thought of using 'Extraordinary Puppets' as crew members.

"There are many benefits to this. First of all, they can work continuously for long periods of time, without the need to change shifts or be on duty.

"Moreover, whether it's a battle or the discovery of treasure in the future, there's no need to share the spoils with them."

Rupert then came back to his senses, "Captain, who helped you create these 'Extraordinary Puppets'?"

He had also seen some simple mechanical puppets. The Sequence 8 potion name of the "Monster" pathway is "Machine", which has terrifying calculation ability and control over itself.

Some members of the "School of Life" have used their powerful calculation abilities to design some ingenious mechanical puppets, but they can only do some simple, repetitive tasks.

For example, picking up a pen to draw a designed picture, or writing some words, etc.

When to put the pen down? When to lift the pen? When to draw an arc? When to draw a straight line? These are all designed mechanisms, not from the creativity of the mechanical puppets.

The only function of these puppets is to perform in circuses.

However, the puppets on the ship are different. They can do some complex things, such as tying ropes, tightening sails, and making tea for Audiss and others.

Although their movements look a bit stiff and mechanical, this is already a very powerful 'Extraordinary Puppet'. Rupert seriously suspected that this was a batch of puppets customized from a demigod.

Audiss hesitated slightly before saying, "I don't want to hide anything about this matter. These are puppets I designed myself.

"They have no life, no spirit, only a mechanical shell, and a mechanized way of thinking... well, not thinking, it should be said 'mechanical calculation method'.

"You see them busy because I have already 'instilled' some common sense and knowledge into them.

"But if you ask them to cook a dish in the kitchen, they will be completely stunned and at a loss."

Only after seeing Audiss and others cook will they know how to cook, but it's just imitation, unless you instill a cookbook into them.

The First Mate and Second Mate opened their mouths, and Rupert asked after a few seconds, "How... how did you do it?"

"It's not that I don't want to say it."

Audiss smiled and said, "It's just that you don't understand.

"Well... let me put it this way, I have discovered some unique uses in Extraordinary aspects. This ship and these puppets are all manifestations of that special usage."

Bazell and Rupert only understood a little, but when they thought of those obviously powerful scrolls, they seemed to understand what "Captain Gahr" meant.

While the new ship had not yet been towed to the port, Audiss beckoned to the First Mate and Second Mate, "Come, come, let me take you on a tour of this ship.

"The rooms above the deck are the cockpit and the lounge. Later, the three of us will take turns on duty in the cockpit.

"There will be 'Mechanical Puppets' as helmsmen and emergency sailors there."

He opened the door of the cockpit. The structure here was relatively simple, with a half-person-high helm and a very mechanical-looking engine-order telegraph on the right.

A 'Mechanical Puppet' was already on standby in front of the helm.

On the left side of the cockpit, there were many levers and buttons. Bazell and Rupert saw such a structure in the cockpit for the first time and didn't know what it was for, and they were too embarrassed to ask.

In addition, there was a large wooden seat in the best viewing position in the cockpit.

Audiss then took the two to a room on the side. This was the lounge, but it was still relatively simple, with only a square table and a few chairs.

In addition, there was a small room above the cockpit and lounge, which was the navigator's workplace.

The main rooms were all below the deck. Audiss introduced, "This ship is divided into three floors in total.

"The first floor is the dining room, kitchen, conference room, recreation room, as well as my bedroom and studio."

This floor had portholes, and the sunlight outside could shine in, making it not dim.

However, the furnishings were relatively simple, and there was still a lot of space.

"The floor below is everyone's bedroom."

Audiss said as he walked down, "The two of you who came first can choose first."

This floor had no windows, but there were bright crystal lamps in the corridor.

Bazell, who had lived on ships before, was stunned, "This... this is a crystal lamp?"

This ship was too luxurious! The crystal lamps in the corridor alone were enough to buy an ordinary small sea ship.

"It is indeed a crystal lamp, but it's different from the crystal lamp you imagined."

Audiss smiled and briefly explained.

The crystal lamp Bazell was talking about was a precious spiritual material that could emit light for a long time.

It was valuable and very popular.

The crystal lamps on the 'Argo', on the other hand, continuously replenished spirituality to cheap crystals to make them shine. These crystals added up to less than 50 pounds.

In addition, in each room, there were also three crystal lamps, one large and two small, with switches near the door and the small lamps.

Each room even had an independent washroom.

Because there were not too many crew members, the rooms here were very spacious. Rupert sighed, "It's almost the same as a hotel room."

The rooms on ordinary ships were relatively crowded. After all, there were many crew members. Although the First Mate and Second Mate had their own rooms, they were generally relatively small.

There were a total of 4 such rooms, and 2 larger rooms, which were the crew dormitories.

In addition, there was a 'Extraordinary Puppet' lounge, which was the place to park the 'Extraordinary Puppets', after all, not too many puppets were needed at ordinary times.

The bottom floor was the warehouse and power system. Of course, not in the same room, but separately in the bow and stern, with stairs separating them in the middle.

Bazell sighed, "Without too many crew members, a lot of space can be saved."

If it were an ordinary sea ship, there would generally be a prison cell on the bottom floor.

But Audiss obviously did not have such preparations. When fighting enemies, either kill them or let them go.

If you really encounter a situation where you "capture but don't kill", you can put them in another room first.

The three began to walk back, with Audiss still in the lead, "The entire ship is driven by spirituality, and the sails outside are just for disguise.

"Of course, they also have some functions, but they don't provide power to the ship... Oh, right, we should hang up the flag as soon as possible."

Bazell and Rupert looked at each other. It was the first time they had heard of a ship driven by spirituality, but the captain didn't explain it in detail, so they didn't ask for the time being.

They came all the way to the conference room on the third floor, where there were two flags.

Audiss smiled and said, "Now, let's ask our most agile First Mate to hang the flag on the mast."

Bazell pointed to one of the flags and said in surprise, "This... this is the flag of 'Dawn of the Elements'."

"That's right."

Audiss said, "We will sail under the flag of 'Dawn of the Elements', but the price to pay is to give the 'Mysterious Queen' 10% of the spoils."

The flag of "Dawn of the Elements" is an eye without eyelashes. Above the eye, there are some illusory symbols representing light, depicting the dawn when the sun has not yet risen, but the sky is already bright.

"10%?"

Bazell thought he had misheard.

Because he was very clear about the rules among pirates, borrowing someone else's flag generally required handing over 30% to half of the spoils.

At sea, the flag often means a kind of protection and deterrence. For example, ordinary pirates will choose to turn around and flee when they see the flag of the "King of the Sea".

Even in battle, the side flying the flag of the "King of the Sea" is more morale.

Since you have borrowed the prestige and reputation of others, of course you have to pay some price.

At this time, what shocked Bazell was that the ship he was going to serve on in the future was flying the flag of the "King of the Sea", and only had to hand over 10% of the spoils.

This made him very puzzled. It was clear that "Captain Gahr's" background was the Church of the Night Goddess, so why would he fly the flag of "Dawn of the Elements"?

Rupert had not been to the Church of the Night Goddess with Audiss, and was not very clear about the extent of the captain's cooperation with the Church of the Night Goddess. At this time, he simply thought that "Captain Gahr's" background was "Dawn of the Elements".

Audiss replied, "Yes, only 10%. There are some special reasons for this, but we basically belong to the power of 'Dawn of the Elements'."

Bazell and Rupert both noticed that the captain was a bit vague about this, which was also a bit abnormal.

But now was not the time to talk about this, so the two did not continue to ask.

"As for the second flag."

Audiss said, "This is the flag of our pirate group, um... I designed it myself."

This flag was relatively simple. The background was the most commonly used hexagram in magic circles. In the central position of the hexagram was an eye with eyelids, and an upright sword.

The sword was behind the eye and in front of the hexagram.

The First Mate and Second Mate had no objections to this. After all, the captain had such power.

Bazell also obeyed the order and hung the two flags on the top of the mast.

The flag of "Dawn of the Elements" was on top, and the flag of their pirate group was below.

After hanging it up, Audis discussed with them, "I haven't thought of a name for the pirate group yet. Do you have any ideas?"

The first mate and second mate were both slightly stunned. Rupert glanced at their flag: "How about the Six-Pointed Star Pirates?"

Audis pondered for a moment: "Sounds like a band name."

Bazel said, "How about the Sea Lion Pirates?"

"Sounds like a circus name."

The three looked at each other and laughed together.

They all realized that three people who weren't good at naming things had come together.

At this moment, the new ship, towed by a tugboat, entered the harbor dock, and many people came to see it off.

Audis first ordered the "Extraordinary Puppets": "Drop anchor!"

The anchor was dropped, and the "Argo" docked at the pier.

Audis then said to the first mate and second mate: "I also ordered some food and drinks. Have people move them to the warehouse below later."

Bazel and Rupert agreed, and Audis had the "Extraordinary Puppets" lower the gangplank, came to the pier, and said goodbye to the scholars who came to see him off.

At the same time, the goods ordered last night also began to be loaded onto the ship.

Just as the goods were loaded and Audis was about to set off, a layer of illusory feathers suddenly appeared on the pier. The feathers dissipated, and Bernadette, holding a hat, walked out from inside.

Audis smiled and said, "Thank you, 'Queen,' for seeing me off."

Bernadette threw the hat in her hand to Audis: "A departure gift for you."

Audis caught it. It was a leather captain's hat. The silver ornaments on the hat also had some spiritual radiance flowing, obviously a magical item.

"Thank you." Audis didn't refuse.

Bernadette looked at the flag on the ship and nodded with satisfaction: "The flag you designed is quite compatible with the 'Dawn of Elements' flag."

Then she asked, "What's the name of the pirate group?"

Audis said with a sad face, "I haven't thought of it yet. I discussed it with the first mate and second mate for a long time just now, but we couldn't come up with a good result. Why don't you think of one?"

Ailiya and others shook their heads with a smile. They didn't expect that the ship was ready, but the pirate group didn't even have an official name.

Bernadette didn't stand on ceremony, and looked at the flag designed by Audis again, and then said: "There is a sword, let's call it 'Sword of Daybreak'."

"Daybreak" and "Dawn" are the same word, but in Intis, this word has two pronunciations to distinguish the meaning of "Dawn" in different contexts.

For example, now, Audis has hung up the flag of "Dawn of Elements", and if the pirate group has the meaning of "Dawn", it will be repeated.

So another pronunciation can be used. In Audis's language logic, it means "Daybreak."

Audis slowly nodded: "This name is very good."

He said goodbye to Bernadette and others again, and when he was about to board the ship, he whispered to Bernadette: "I want to borrow someone from you."

Bernadette nodded: "Borrow them."

"I'll send you away in an hour."

Before, when she learned from Ailiya about the content of Audis's conversation with Ilez, the president of the "Navigator's Guild", she guessed Audis's idea.

Audis took off his hat to express his gratitude, and then quickly walked up the spiral staircase: "Sail!"

As he waved goodbye to the people on the pier, the "Extraordinary Puppets" began to start the ship in an orderly manner. First, the anchor was recovered, and then the "Extraordinary Puppet" in the cockpit pushed the control lever forward, and the corresponding magic circle at the bottom of the ship was activated, and the formed waves pushed the sea ship forward.

The "Argo" left the pier, and Audis also took Bazel and Rupert back to the cockpit.

On the way to the cockpit, Rupert glanced at the hat in Audis's hand and smiled: "That beautiful lady must not want you to go to sea."

Bazel also showed a "I understand" smile.

Audis looked back at them and said: "That's the 'Mysterious Queen'."

Rupert's outstretched leg twisted and he almost fell: "Queen…"

Of course, he could see that the lady was a big shot. He was just joking with the captain just now.

He didn't expect that it was actually the "Mysterious Queen"!

Bazel was also stunned on the spot. He couldn't see through "Captain Gars" background more and more. The "Mysterious Queen" actually came to see him off in person!

Arriving at the cockpit, Audis sat on the wide wooden chair, looked at the vast sea and smiled: "Forward 2!"

The "Argo" accelerated, and soon the speed reached about 20 knots.

At this time, the first mate and second mate, who had rebuilt their mentality, came to the cockpit and stood on both sides of the captain's seat.

Audis said: "Our pirate group is definitely called 'Sword of Daybreak'.

"This is very much in line with some of my ideas. In the future, I hope we can be like a sword, piercing this sea and piercing the entire world."

The first mate and second mate had just recovered, and at this time they nodded vigorously. At this time, even if the captain said that this ship could fly, they would believe it.

Audis added: "Currently, our ship is still missing an important person: a navigator.

"I already have a good candidate, so I'm going to grab him."

Bazel thought he had misheard: "Grab him?"

"Yes, grab him." Audis got up and smiled: "From today on, we are pirates. As pirates, kidnapping is commonplace."

However, this kidnapping requires a certain amount of technical content.

After saying hello to Bazel and Rupert, Audis put on the captain's hat that Bernadette had just given him, entered the spirit world with the "Travel Ring", and came to the Navigator's Guild.

He glanced at the sextant-shaped logo at the door and pushed the door open.

Ilez, the white-haired president, smiled and said, "I thought you had already found a suitable navigator."

When the "Queen" built a new ship for sea trials, Ilez also went to the dock to see it. His many years of experience at sea made him keenly aware that this ship was very unusual.

So he took the initiative to learn about it, only to find that the confidentiality level of the new ship construction project was very high, and he had no right to know the specific situation.

However, Ilez accidentally inquired about the specific date of the "Argo"'s departure, so he brought his most proud student in advance, hoping that this student could board this ship with a brand new concept.

But Audis was late in coming, so Ilez said this, thinking that Audis had already found a suitable candidate.

"Of course not," Audis smiled: "If I had found one, I would definitely have someone notify you."

Ilez stroked his beard and nodded slowly, very satisfied with Audis's answer.

He glanced at the captain's hat on Audis's head, which was the hat that the "Mysterious Queen" had worn before, which could make people lucky in a short period of time.

This made Ilez suddenly recall some of his experiences at sea. He took a deep breath and introduced the young man behind him: "This is the most talented student I have met in recent years, Ans Ell, I hope he can quickly become a mature navigator on your ship."

"Welcome to join." Audis naturally shook hands with Ans Ell.

Ans Ell bowed slightly, shook hands and said polite words to Audis.

Then Audis said to Ilez again: "President, thank you for your recommendation."

As he spoke, he naturally stretched out his hand and shook hands with President Ilez.

President Ilez didn't think too much, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Audis.

In this instant, a door of illusion appeared next to them. Before Ilez could react, he had already appeared in the spirit world with Audis.

The young navigator Ans Ell watched his teacher and the new captain disappear, stunned there, at a loss for a while: What just happened? How did the two of them disappear with a "swoosh"? And? What about me? Are you going to let me on the ship?

…

After a brief surprise, Ilez immediately wanted to break free. At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became like a thick oil painting, the colors became blurred and deep. Audis had already brought Ilez to the cockpit.

"Take a tour of the ship!" Audis quickly said: "If you don't want to stay on the ship, I'll send you away immediately."

He knew very well that the old man in front of him was not only a navigator, but also a very powerful extraordinary, he should be a "Wind Favored One", at least a "Navigator".

He could use the opportunity of shaking hands to trick him over, but he couldn't stop the old man from flying back or swimming back.

Ilez originally wanted to scold Audis a few words, but was immediately attracted by the "Extraordinary Puppets" at the helm: "These 'Extraordinary Puppets' can actually steer?"

He also heard today that Audis took the "Extraordinary Puppets" to the shipyard early in the morning. He didn't take it too seriously. He thought they were puppets that could only do some transportation work, but he didn't expect that they could actually steer!

Audis quickly introduced: "Not only can they steer, but they can also operate weapons and fight.

"So even if you teach students on the ship, the students can hide in the cabin when a battle occurs, because I plan to assemble a total of 40 'Extraordinary Puppets'.

"If it's not enough, I'll re-order from Diff, and I will never let your students get hurt."

Ilez opened his mouth, but swallowed the words of refusal. He had spent most of his life at sea, and he also wanted to see this new ship.

Moreover, as Audis said before, the most important lesson for a navigator can only be completed at sea.

But there are no such conditions. After all, "Dawn of Elements" is not a navigator's school. It is impossible to use a large ship for teaching.

Even if Yileizhe occasionally used it, there wouldn't be time to go too far, otherwise the practical teaching would be almost like sightseeing.

So, Audis's suggestion to use his new ship to teach the new navigators had already moved Yileizhe.

After becoming the chairman, Yileizhe grew to love the profession of teaching students more and more.

It's just that at that time, he was very clear that the safety of his students could not be guaranteed.

But now it's different, the combat tasks on this ship don't require navigator trainees to do at all.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yileizhe glanced at the "Dawn" captain, the captain's hat once worn by the "Mysterious Queen", and finally he let out a long sigh and said: "Take me to see the students' accommodation."

Audis knew that this matter was settled, and quickly led the old man out.

But when he reached the deck, Yileizhe was stunned again in front of the sails.

Because the sails were not open, but the ship was sailing very fast.

Audis was stunned for a moment before saying: "Oh, right, I forgot to open the sails."

Yileizhe seemed to have heard the most absurd joke of the year, but he couldn't laugh, because obviously this ship was not driven by sails.

After Audis ordered an "Extraordinary Puppet" to open the sails, he continued to lead the way: "There are a total of six rooms, one for the first mate and one for the second mate, one for Chairman Yileizhe, and then one should be left empty for backup.

"The remaining two crew dormitories can be used for students, and each room can accommodate eight or nine people without any problem."

Yileizhe slowly nodded, the accommodation conditions were still very good.

Then Audis took Yileizhe to visit the observation room specially prepared for navigators. Unless it was a large ship like the "Dawn", ordinary ships would not have an observation room.

Navigators often have to brave strong winds and rain to observe the stormy sea, so as to prevent the ship from entering dangerous areas.

And if sailing in the North Sea or the Arctic Sea, they also have to brave the severe cold to observe whether there are icebergs.

With an observation room, the conditions are much better.

Finally, Yileizhe nodded with satisfaction and said: "I can be your navigator, but the condition is that I want to use your ship to teach the students.

"I will not participate in your battles, and I will not participate in the sharing of your spoils and all the treasures you get.

"Under normal circumstances, my students cannot participate in battles either."

His experience on the "Dawn" had given him a lot of savings, and he was also old, and he had no thoughts of promotion, so he had no thoughts about spoils.

In order not to make his old age too lonely, he just wanted to do something he liked to do.

"No problem!" Audis agreed immediately: "Tell me which students you want to bring, and I will pick them up immediately."

Yileizhe immediately said five names, including the student Ans Ai'er who had just been recommended to Audis, and Yileizhe wrote a letter to the "Navigator Guild", stating that Audis was willing to provide a safe place for him to teach young navigators.

Audis once again used the "Travel Ring" to send this letter to the "Navigator Guild", and in three batches, he brought the three male and two female young people mentioned by Yileizhe to the "Argo" ship.

Although things were rushed, after seeing Yileizhe, several young people were relieved, and then began to be full of curiosity about this ship and the crew such as Audis.

At this time, Audis discovered an important problem: language barrier.

Bazeer and Rupert were both Loen people, and they knew Giant language and Ancient Hermes language, and they also knew some Intis words, but it was difficult to communicate normally.

The old man Yileizhe was fine, he had been at sea for a long time and was proficient in various languages, but his students only knew Intis.

Audis had to use the "Wisdom Helmet" to solve this problem and instill Loen language into the navigator trainees.

When everyone arrived, the ship suddenly became lively.

At this time, a huge illusory space appeared in front of the "Argo" ship.

Audis knew that Bernadette was sending himself to the Rage Sea, so he shouted: "Everyone on the deck come back, everyone go into the room!"

The "Argo" sailed towards the huge illusory space at a speed of 20 knots. At the moment of entering, a thin layer of starlight was laid on the ship. That was Bernadette's protection for the "Argo".

Inside the illusory space was a wide galaxy, and the "Argo" was slowly sailing along the galaxy.

First Mate Bazeer said: "Today I have seen the truly advanced Extraordinary ability."

Today's experience was completely different from what he had imagined before boarding the ship. He even had the illusion that he was not participating in a pirate group at all.

This galaxy was not very long, and soon the "Argo" seemed to break through a thin film and entered a normal sea area again.

There, you couldn't see Raxia Island behind you, or even any island.

After sending Audis to an unfamiliar sea area, Bernadette didn't say anything, put away the thin starlight and the huge illusory space, and left.

Yileizhe looked at the sun in the sky, and then carefully observed the sea and the sea breeze, and said: "We have actually arrived at the Rage Sea!"

Although Audis knew that the older the navigator, the better, he was still a little surprised by the other party's judgment: "You can even judge this?"

Yileizhe smiled: "Using the sun, sea breeze and ocean currents to judge your location is the basic course for navigators.

"Tonight, as long as I look at the starry sky, I will know our exact location."

Audis nodded: "It was right to invite you here."

Then he said to the first mate, second mate and Yileizhe: "The sea looks very calm at the moment, let's go to the conference room for a meeting."

Arriving at the conference room, Audis re-examined the three people in front of him. Sitting on the left was Bazeer Ryan, who was not talkative and very calm.

On the right was Rupert Sean, with dark brown hair and a smile on his face all the time. And Yileizhe, with his white beard and hair, dressed casually.

The four people present were the backbone of the "Sword of Dawn" pirate group.

Audis smiled and said: "From now on, we are people on the same boat, and we will definitely fight together, so we should introduce ourselves first.

"I am a 'Scroll Professor'. My scrolls are more powerful and have more types than ordinary 'Scroll Professors'.

"This ship was also designed by me. Its weapon system is very powerful, but you may not understand it just by saying that. Let's find a place to conduct a live ammunition shooting."

The other three also introduced themselves. Bazeer was Sequence 7 "Briber", Rupert was Sequence 7 "Lucky One", and the old man Yileizhe was indeed a Sequence 6 "Wind Blessed One".

This made Audis sigh that he had a lot of luck in getting this old navigator on board.

Then Audis reiterated the purpose of the pirate group and announced that the recent goal was to find traces of treasure and try to find the "Red Lion" pirate group. If there was an opportunity, he would take the initiative to launch an offensive.

The main purpose of this meeting was to reiterate the purpose of the pirate group, so it ended quickly. After the meeting, Audis came to the cockpit to watch the sea, while the first mate and second mate were chatting and smoking in the lounge.

Yileizhe had already started teaching on the spot, telling the students how to judge the wind direction and ocean currents.

At this time, a student discovered an island with a telescope.
