Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

The members of the Tarot Club had just heard shocking news from "The Hermit": "The Blood Emperor" Tudor killed Medici in order to become a True God of a non-adjacent pathway!

After about three or four seconds, "The Fool" Klein, who was the first to react, manipulated "The World" to ask, "He… I mean Tudor, didn't he lose control because of this?"

In theory, jumping to an adjacent pathway might only involve some risk.

But even wild Beyonders should know that jumping to a non-adjacent pathway would result in immediate loss of control and certain death.

The other members also had this question: Why would Tudor take such a risk?

Even if he couldn't become Sequence 1, becoming a Sequence 2 angel wouldn't be too unacceptable compared to the risks of jumping to a non-adjacent pathway.

"I can't give you a definite answer," Audris said. "However, according to some information I've learned, at the level of the Gods, many common-sense things can be broken.

"Or rather, at this level, the ability to withstand is stronger, and they can withstand some of the consequences of jumping to a non-adjacent pathway.

"But Tudor also paid a huge price for this. It is said that most of the time, he is in a state of madness and bloodlust!"

Klein, behind the gray fog, suddenly recalled Mr. Azik's description. He said that the Blood Emperor was as tall as a mountain, and just looking at him caused him severe damage.

Connecting it with the information traded today, Klein suddenly understood why the "Blood Emperor" in Mr. Azik's description seemed a bit strange.

The other members were just listening to the two people's questions and answers. The impact of the information just now was too great, and they hadn't recovered for a while.

This also included "The Priestess" Cattleya. Although she had a wealth of mystical knowledge, she lacked this kind of advanced knowledge, so she was also digesting this information for a while.

After another second or two, "Justice" Audrey suddenly thought: This was actually a choice Tudor made out of desperation. Thinking about it carefully, it felt a bit tragic.

"The Hanged Man" Alger also came back to his senses: No wonder Tudor was called the "Blood Emperor." It turned out that it was because he became mad and bloodthirsty.

"The Sun" Derrick also quickly reacted: The state of this "Blood Emperor" was a bit like the situation of the ancient gods in the records. Just as "The Hermit" said, at such a high level, they might have the power to counteract madness and bloodlust.

"The Moon" Emlyn asked after recovering from the shock, "Mr. 'Hermit,' why would Tudor do this? I mean, didn't he consider jumping to an adjacent pathway?"

Klein and the other members all looked at "The Moon," and even Audris was a bit surprised.

Emlyn was a bit strange: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my question…"

"No," Audris said with a smile.

Everyone just felt a bit surprised that Mr. "Moon" could ask such a question.

Looking back at the previous transactions, "The Moon" was generally unable to notice the most crucial part of the transaction in the first instance.

He suddenly asked such an important question, which was still a bit unusual.

"Because the adjacent pathway of the 'Black Emperor' was occupied by someone else," Audris replied.

Emlyn was about to ask who occupied it, but then he thought that he had already used up his opportunity to ask questions, so he didn't ask any further.

And Klein, Alger, and Cattleya, who had corresponding mystical knowledge, had already guessed that it was occupied by the "Night Emperor."

Seeing that everyone had no questions, Audris continued, "Before Solomon completed his resurrection, Tudor and Trunsoest had successively established empires, and after Solomon resurrected, the 'Era of the Four Emperors' officially began.

"Relatively speaking, the Tudor Empire was the weakest. It's not to say that the extraordinary power of this empire was the weakest, but that it was isolated and helpless!

"Solomon had the support of the 'True Creator,' and Trunsoest had the support of the Six Gods.

"'Nether Emperor' Salinger should have been an ally of Solomon, and at that time, there were still some extraordinary forces in the Southern Continent supporting the rule of the 'Nether Emperor.'

"Moreover, the Bayam Empire in the Southern Continent had the opportunity to watch two tigers fight and make the right choice.

"On the Tudor Empire's side, only the 'Original Witch' seemed to have supported Tudor, while the 'Black Emperor' was Tudor's enemy. Although there wasn't as much hatred between the 'Night Emperor' and Tudor as there was between Tudor and Solomon, the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Night Emperor' were also mutually hostile.

"The 'Nether Emperor' was an ally of the 'Black Emperor,' so it was unlikely that he would join forces with Tudor.

"So even if Tudor's great nobles were very strong, even with the support of the 'Original Witch,' he didn't have a reliable ally."

Audrey once again felt a sense of loneliness, feeling that the "Blood Emperor" was the loneliest of the Four Emperors.

"The Hanged Man" Alger also thought: This seemed to be a story of using any means to survive.

Then he sighed and suddenly recalled some of his life experiences.

Cattleya then asked "The Hermit," "Can you explain in detail why you think the 'Original Witch' once supported the 'Blood Emperor'?"

She knew that the "Original Witch" had once joined forces with the "Nether Emperor," but she had never heard that the "Original Witch" had supported the "Blood Emperor."

"This comes from another piece of information I obtained," Audris replied, "'The Blood Emperor' and the 'Original Witch' once had two daughters."

Or rather, a son and a daughter?

Everyone was stunned. Emlyn asked, "Do Gods actually have children?"

Everyone looked at "The Moon" again. "The Magician" Forsi thought, "Can't Gods have descendants?"

Emlyn was stunned for a moment before saying, "I… I mean, I've heard that Gods seem to have descendants, but… I haven't heard that they have children…"

Saying this, he smiled helplessly, "I just heard that the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Original Witch' had two daughters, and I didn't react for a moment."

The others all looked away, because just now they also felt that they didn't react for a moment, that there were actually descendants between the two of them!

Audris said, "I also accidentally obtained this high-level information. The 'Original Witch' had already become a God at that time. As a God, if she wasn't willing, the 'Blood Emperor' couldn't possibly use harsh methods to force her to bear him descendants.

"Of course, the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Original Witch' should each have their own purposes in the process of having children. It's unlikely that it was because of love.

"But no matter what, the fact that the 'Original Witch' could do this is a sign of supporting the 'Blood Emperor.' Even if it wasn't overt support, it was covert support."

Cattleya nodded. She didn't expect such "evidence."

Audrey then curiously asked, "Mr. 'Hermit,' what happened to their daughters later? Why haven't I ever heard of them?"

"Because the state of the 'Original Witch' seemed to become a bit strange later," Audris replied, "One of their two daughters seemed to have died, and the other is still alive. She should currently be a relatively important figure in the 'Witch Sect.'"

This was an important piece of information he obtained in Backlund. He wasn't very clear about the specific situation, but according to his speculation, the one who survived must also be an angel now. No matter what kind of extraordinary organization it is, angels must be important figures.

Moreover, Audris didn't intend to explain that the one who survived was a son who later became a daughter.

Audrey thought, "I know another ancient angel, and her parents are two Gods."

Seeing that everyone had no other questions, Audris continued, "In the initial confrontation stage, the Tudor Empire didn't immediately fall into a disadvantage, but it is said that the empire's attacks were the most frantic.

"Later, I thought about it, and it's impossible not to be frantic. This is actually the same as ordinary people. Without a background, you can only rely on your own hard work…"

Alger felt like this was describing himself again.

His experience could be described as very bumpy, and it was only recently that things had gone a little smoother.

"…After Tudor and Trunsoest joined forces to eliminate Solomon, the Tudor Empire's disadvantage became even more obvious," Audris continued.

"I once guessed that Tudor was so easy to talk to, giving the Uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' and a Sequence 1 characteristic to Trunsoest, in order to deepen the conflict between Trunsoest and the Six Gods.

"Because for Tudor, who had already become the 'Red Priest,' the Uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' and the Sequence 1 characteristic were no longer useful.

"But these things could inflate Trunsoest's ambition, hoping to become stronger."

Audris deliberately paused, giving the other members a chance to ask questions.

Sure enough, Alger immediately asked, "Will the 'Night Emperor' become stronger after obtaining the Uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' and the Sequence 1 characteristic?"

"This question is very complex and very advanced," Audris said. "It is not within the scope of this transaction."

Klein couldn't help but think: Could it be that after a God obtains the Sequence 1 characteristic and Uniqueness of an adjacent pathway, they can forcibly accommodate it? To become even more powerful?

But he immediately thought: Such a conclusion is not complex, and it shouldn't be that simple.

Cattleya also keenly noticed this: There are many secrets at the level of the Gods!

Audris continued, "But Trunsoest maintained great composure and didn't immediately show his ambition. After he eliminated Solomon, he turned his attention to the Tudor Empire.

The support of the Six Gods placed immense pressure on the Tudor Empire.

Fortunately, the Six Gods were not harmonious among themselves, providing the Tudor Empire with some room to survive.

At the time, the Beyland Empire was also under great pressure. However, subsequent developments showed that the Beyland Empire did not join forces with the Tudor Empire to confront the Trensoost Empire.

Some evidence suggests that the Beyland Empire and the Trensoost Empire seemed to be trending towards an alliance.

Isolated again! Audrey sighed: The Tudor Empire seems to have been filled with uncompromising attitudes from beginning to end, making it easily isolated.

The other members also felt a sense of heaviness in this description. In fact, the fate of the Tudor Empire could already be determined at this point, but they couldn't help but want to hear how the Tudor Empire resisted such a fate in its final days. Were there any turning points at the time?

Audis continued: "I am not clear about the specific war when the country was destroyed, nor have I obtained any relevant information.

However, I believe that the 'Blood Emperor' should have done his best, and the great nobles of this empire should also have done their best.

Because these great nobles, except for the Tamara family, all seemed very powerful, but they were not Extraordinary powers recognized by the mainstream gods.

Or rather, the entire establishment of the Tudor Empire implicitly carried the meaning of resisting the Six Gods.

Later, I guessed that Tudor might have been tired of the Six Gods issuing orders at will, so he didn't intend to always be one of the rulers of the 'United Empire'.

So he secretly conspired with Abraham and others to secretly build nine mausoleums under the noses of the Six Gods, until Solomon was preparing to resurrect and had no choice but to jump to a non-adjacent pathway."

Audis took a deep breath and said: "I rarely take the initiative to evaluate historical figures, after all, I can't put myself in their shoes to understand their choices and their feelings.

But here at the 'Blood Emperor' I must say a few words. Although he failed, although many people also evaluate him as an irrational speculator.

I think he is a rebel, a person who rebels against this world.

He may not be so noble, without grand ideals, but just rebelled to realize some of his own ideas.

But in the Extraordinary world, in this world where Sequence overwhelms everything, such a spirit of resistance is very rare."

Audrey felt that the life of the "Blood Emperor" was magnificent after hearing "The Hermit's" words.

Even old hands like Alger and Cattleya were somewhat moved by "The Hermit's" words.

They seemed to have not felt excited for life and ideals for a long time.

"The Magician" Forsi had the idea of writing a biography for the "Blood Emperor", but when she thought that she couldn't publish it even if she wrote it, and if it was published, someone would have to collect the copper pennies in the gas meter, she decisively gave up the idea.

"The Sun" Derrick and "The Moon" Emlyn were completely empathetic and felt that the "Blood Emperor's" failure was a pity.

Only Klein smiled helplessly: Why do I feel like there is a kind of "smuggling private goods" feeling?

"The above is the content of this transaction." Audis looked around and, seeing that no one had any questions, he ended the transaction.

At this time, everyone immediately came to their senses and seemed to suddenly feel the cruelty of the "War of the Four Emperors".

As far as the Solomon Empire was concerned, because the "True Creator" had always supported this empire, everyone generally did not have a good impression of this empire.

But as for the Tudor Empire, everyone had no good or bad opinions in advance, and they had some sympathy for the empire's experience.

In the hall, no one spoke for several seconds in a row. It was "Little Sun" who broke the silence and said to "The Hermit": "Mr. 'Hermit', this time I hope to trade six Extraordinary weapons, three 'Ice Bomb' and three 'Thunderstorm Bomb'."

Audis nodded: "I still owe you 40 pounds from the last gathering, and this gathering paid 200 pounds for you, so you owe me 160 pounds.

Plus the 6 weapons you need, the total value is 300 pounds.

In this case, you have to pay me a total of 460 pounds, which is 7 Sequence 9-level Extraordinary materials, so I owe you another 30 pounds."

Derrick nodded without any pressure: "Okay, I will sacrifice the corresponding materials after the gathering."

After their transaction ended, the Tarot Club seemed to return to the trading session again.

Klein manipulated "The World" and said: "Who has, or who can get, a magical item with a strong attack power?"

His target was "The Priestess", because only "Star Admiral", who had traveled the seas for many years, could meet his needs, and even the "craftsman" familiar to "The Hanged Man" could not.

Cattleya was silent for two seconds before saying: "If there are similar items appearing at the Extraordinary gathering I participate in, I will help you pay attention."

The pirate conference not long ago broke up unhappily. Another pirate conference will be held recently. In addition to discussing some of the difficulties faced by pirates, several high-level pirates will also have trading and carnival sessions.

"The World" nodded, and Klein thought: It seems that "Star Admiral" is not well-off either.

Seeing that the communication between the two people was over, Audis said to "The Magician" Forsi again: "I have a commission for you, or rather an invitation."

Forsi was stunned: "What commission?"

She had previously guessed that "The Hermit" was likely to be the "Leader".

Forsi was looking forward to "The Hermit's" commission, so that she could get more clues to determine whether "The Hermit" was the "Leader".

"I found a ruin." Audis said: "I need an Extraordinary person from the 'Apprentice' pathway to help, so I thought of you first and hope to invite you to explore that ruin together."

Without error, one first one hair one inside one content one at one look!

Audrey took the lead and said in her heart: I also want to participate in such an exploration!

Forsi was about to agree in one breath. She had heard Extraordinary people say more than once that they could often find some valuable things in the ruins. She seemed to have seen gold pounds beckoning to her.

But she quickly calmed down and smiled bitterly: "Mr. 'Hermit', I am only Sequence 8."

She wasn't worried about being in danger after meeting "The Hermit", for the same reason as Cattleya's previous thoughts.

This cooperation is witnessed by Mr. "Fool". If "The Hermit" harms other members, "The Hermit" will definitely be punished.

Moreover, Forsi also knew that she could ask "The Fool" for help at critical moments, and the reward would be more Russell's diaries.

"Your role is mainly to open the entrance." Audis said: "If you feel dangerous, you don't have to explore with me.

But in this case, you have no right to share the discoveries in the ruins, and I will only give you a reward of 600 pounds."

Cattleya and Alger and others did not react much. They were very clear that unless "The Hermit" invited them, they did not need to take the initiative to understand this kind of exploration that they obviously could not participate in.

Emlyn was very interested and looked forward to "The Hermit's" invitation: Doesn't "The Hermit" want his team to have a vampire with rich experience and the "Baron" level?

But then he felt a little guilty, because he had only heard other vampires talk about the experience of exploring ruins, but he had not explored them himself.

Forsi took a deep breath, not expecting such a high reward. This shows that "The Hermit" is confident that he can find valuable things in the ruins.

But she still tried to calm herself down: "I can open the entrance?"

Audis continued with a smile: "That is a ruin of the Abraham family, so I need your ability."

Forsi sat up straight all of a sudden: "I am willing to explore with you."

She said: "When will we leave? Whereabouts?"

Since it is a ruin about the Abraham family, it must be explored.

"The day after tomorrow." Audis had already arranged it: "Thursday or Friday at eight o'clock in the morning, I will pick you up in Backlund. You can write an address on a piece of paper for me.

As for where the ruin is specifically, I can't tell you now."

His recent schedule is quite full, so he can only wait two days before saying anything.

Forsi nodded: "Okay."

She asked Mr. "Fool" for help, expressed an address, and sent it to "The Hermit".

Audis picked up the note and looked at it: Wirdy Park, by the artificial lake.

He glanced at Forsi. That park was the place where he, Forsi, and Hugh fought the spies of the Falsack Empire together before.

Audis thought: This temptation is too obvious.

Forsi was looked at by "The Hermit" and reached out to smooth her hair unnaturally, turned her head away, as if she had done something wrong, and dared not look at "The Hermit".

Audrey noticed the reactions of the two people and soon had a more certain guess: "The Hermit" also knows Forsi! Obviously, Forsi was testing "The Hermit" just now, but "The Hermit" immediately saw through it and guessed Forsi's identity in the real world.

Audis didn't care much about this, after all, even if Forsi knew that "The Hermit" was the "Leader", it wouldn't cause any harm to him.

After settling this matter, Klein manipulated "The World" to look at "The Hanged Man": "I received news that the Storm Church has taken action, and the Bansy Harbor incident has been initially resolved."

Recently at sea, Alger, who had no contact with the church, asked: "What was the final result?"

After the last gathering, Alger roughly reported to the church the information he had learned at the Tarot Club about Bansy Harbor.

He hadn't expected the Church to give feedback so quickly.

“The World” replied: “For a period of time, Bansy Harbor will no longer exist.”

It wasn't until this moment that Audrey and the others realized what they were discussing.

Bansy Harbor was where the descendants of Medici lived. The previous week, “The Hermit” had warned that the Medici family members there were likely to be severely contaminated.

Audrey thought to herself: Does Mr. “World” mean that the Storm Church flattened Bansy Harbor? That's certainly their style.

Then she asked: “Mr. ‘World’, do you know the specific process?”

“The World” glanced at “The Hanged Man” with a slight movement: “No one can know, except for the higher-ups of the Storm Church.”

Alger fell into silence: I must become a higher-up in the Church!

He emphasized to himself again.

Cattelya, who was participating in the Tarot Gathering for the second time, didn't understand what the others were talking about at all.

As a pirate admiral, she was no stranger to Bansy Harbor, but she had no idea what had happened there, nor did she know why the Storm Church wanted to destroy it and rebuild it over a long period of time.

However, this “Pirate Admiral” had enough composure. She remained silent and didn't ask any questions, but continued to listen to see if the subsequent exchanges could answer her questions.

Just then, Emlyn, “The Moon,” who had been waiting for a while, cleared his throat and said: “Thank you, Mr. ‘Hanged Man’, for your help. I am already a Baron.”

“I have a question. As a Blood族, after advancing to Baron, do I need to use the so-called ‘acting method’ to ‘digest’ and better master the extraordinary characteristics, just like you humans?”

Audrey pursed her lips: Mr. “Moon” really wants to tell everyone that he is already Sequence 6! Why does it feel like he is not as mature as “The Sun?”

Auditis replied: “In theory, it is necessary. After all, you are using someone else's ‘legacy’.”

Cattelya then gave a more detailed answer: “Acting is necessary, because the pathway you are on only has Sequence 7 called ‘Vampire’, and you are born vampires, so you don't need to act. All other Sequences require it.”

“Cough.” Emlyn coughed and said: “Madam ‘Priest’, I must emphasize one point, it's Blood族, not Vampire.”

Cattelya smiled naturally: “Alright.”

At this time, Emlyn felt a little strange: Why aren't you all surprised? Don't you know that advancing to “Baron” is advancing to Sequence 6?

After Emlyn's question was answered, the meeting moved on to the exchange session.

The members shared their experiences from the past week one by one. When it came to Auditis, he said: “Yesterday, I encountered a ghost ship that was affected by the ‘Trenches Teuton Empire’.”

“According to some of my investigations, the state of the ‘Empire’ seems to be a bit strange. If you encounter this ship, you must be careful.”

He was reminding Cattelya and Alger, who were also at sea.

Although the probability of encountering it was very small, Auditis had encountered it, so he had to tell them about it.

Cattelya understood the meaning of “The Hermit”. While slowly nodding, she guessed in her heart: Is “The Hermit” also at sea? Or did the passenger ship he was on encounter the ghost ship?

This made her more and more confused, and she couldn't figure out what kind of identity “The Hermit” was? What organization did he belong to?

Alger then asked: “Where did you encounter the ghost ship?”

“Southwest of the Rage Sea.” Auditis simply said: “However, the ‘Empire’ seems to be in the eastern part of the Rage Sea.”

Fors and the other members also realized at this time that the information provided by “The Hermit” recently came from the sea. They also speculated that “The Hermit” might have gone to sea.

Audrey felt a little happy in her heart: “The Hermit” has already gone to sea! I really yearn for such a free life!

Klein, who had also deduced that “The Hermit” had gone to sea, thought to himself: The pirates are going to suffer.

Because wherever this “Hermit” goes, someone will suffer.

Then “Justice” Audrey asked: “Mr. ‘Hermit’, what kind of ship is the ‘Trenches Teuton Empire’?”

Auditis explained: “You can think of it as the legacy of the Trenches Teuton Empire.”

“It is said to be very large, like a floating city. I'm not very clear about when it was built.”

“Everyone says that it was the ship used by members of the Trenches Teuton family to escape the empire, and that all the treasures of the empire were placed on that ship.”

“But I don't think this statement is quite right, because even in the mystical world, it takes time to build such a large ship.”

“If the Trenches Teuton Empire had an unprecedented crisis, the best option would be to take existing ships to escape.”

“However, this ship does not seem to have played any role. The Trenches Teuton Empire was destroyed, and strangely, the ship also disappeared.”

Audrey nodded slowly. The other members who had not gone to sea and did not know about the “Sea Treasure” also nodded, understanding the origin of the ship.

Then Cattelya asked: “What are the signs when that ghost ship appears? What are its specific abilities?”

Because Auditis's description had been very calm before, the other members were still unaware of the danger of encountering that ghost ship until now.

Even Cattelya and Alger thought that the ship that “The Hermit” was on had only brushed past the ghost ship, and then “The Hermit” had checked the information about the ghost ship through other channels.

Auditis did not intend to hide this: “Fog will appear on the sea surface before that ghost ship appears.”

“Each time it appears and brushes past, it will use some kind of mystical means to capture several crew members onto the ghost ship. The specific manifestation is that those crew members suddenly disappear.”

“This process seems to have certain rules, such as taking female crew members the first time, and older members the second time.”

“You can't speak on the ghost ship. Once you speak…”

Cattelya then realized: “Wait a minute, you boarded that ship?”

“Yes.” Auditis was stunned: “It captured my crew members, so of course I had to rescue them.”

“If I ignored it, we might all be captured.”

At this time, everyone realized that this was a rather dangerous encounter.

Auditis continued: “There are many mummies on that ship, some of which possess extraordinary abilities.”

“I learned in the captain's room of that ship that they had encountered the ‘Empire’ before.”

“However, don't speak casually after boarding that ship, because there is a ‘no-speaking’ rule there.”

“In addition, the core operating part of this ship is at the bottom. To get rid of this ship, you must at least severely damage the core of the ship.”

Alger, as the captain of a ghost ship, was a little surprised and said: “That is a ghost ship that attacks other ships.”

Cattelya also had this judgment. Generally, such ghost ships are very dangerous.

The two of them took a deep look at “The Hermit”. They had both encountered or heard of such experiences, and knew how small the probability of escaping from such an event was.

They were very curious at this time whether “The Hermit” had solved the problem himself, or had asked for help?

Audrey and Fors, as usual, had some reveries, feeling that it must have been a very thrilling and exciting adventure.
