Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Audis was somewhat surprised by the information obtained from the "Crystal Skull."

In the "God War Ruins," the horses and carriages on that floating island were actually the carriages of the "Ancient Sun God!"

He continued reading, and he learned that the "Crystal Skull" was a servant of the "Ancient Sun God" during its lifetime.

The "Crystal Skull" was not an angel, but a low-level servant who did things like serving tea, pouring water, and feeding horses.

Even such a servant seemed to be at the level of a demigod.

After Audis sighed inwardly, "God is extravagant," he continued reading and suddenly stopped at a scene.

The main character in the picture was the "Ancient Sun God," who always looked like a large light bulb, strolling with another person, or rather, walking and chatting, because the "Ancient Sun God" probably no longer had the idea of strolling.

The provider of this scene, the "Crystal Skull," followed far behind as a servant.

Audis carefully observed for a while before finding another figure in the strong light emitted by the "Ancient Sun God."

That figure was also a "familiar face" to Audis, the one with the oriental charm.

He had appeared in the murals of the elves and in the murals of the Stiano family.

Moreover, Audis remembered that the "God of Steam and Machinery" had appeared in the murals of the Stiano family… Of course, at that time, he was still Yuggs Stiano.

Yuggs' related murals depicted the scene of this being talking to the Ancient Sun God.

At that time, Audis didn't pay much attention, but now, looking back, Audis realized that the two had really talked, and the content of their conversation should be very important.

At this time, Audis could not only see the picture but also hear the sound.

Although the "Crystal Skull" was far away from the Ancient Sun God and the being with oriental charm, some voices still drifted into the "Crystal Skull's" ears.

The being said in a somewhat ethereal voice: "Your plan will fail."

What the other party said seemed to be Giant language, but it was not quite the same as the Giant language in Audis's impression, but with the "Crystal Skull's" "translation," Audis could understand what the other party was saying.

The Ancient Sun God said in a deep voice: "I have no choice, just as you have no choice either."

Audis was stunned: The plan they were talking about wouldn't be the "Ancient Sun God's" plan to suppress the awakening of "God" by means of rebirth, right?

The ethereal voice said: "I have no choice because I have to constantly fight against the Primordial One, but you are different."

The amount of information in this conversation was very large, and Audis thought quickly while listening: "Fight against the Primordial One"? Which Primordial One?

Ancient Sun God: "Yes, your problem is more serious than mine. It's already very good to have survived from the First Epoch until now."

There was a little more emotion in his voice: "You have been wearing the clothes of the West Continent to strengthen your humanity. Is it effective?"

Only then did Audis realize that the reason why that being had been wearing oriental clothes was to strengthen his humanity.

Then, he felt a "thump" in his heart: Besides the "Elven King," that being also came from the Orient… that is, the West Continent?

However, he immediately thought: In the First Epoch, the West Continent was still on the west coast of the Misty Sea and had not been sealed off, so it was normal for a few people to come from there.

"It's working."

The being said in an ethereal voice: "But the new problem is that my humanity is getting closer and closer to the immortals of the East."

"Heh heh, I didn't expect that most of the immortals in myths and stories actually existed."

What?

Audis felt quite shocked: Most of the Eastern immortals existed? Does that mean they are also related to the Extraordinary?

He carefully recalled, and he immediately thought of many characters in myths and stories who had connections with the Extraordinary.

For example, Kua Fu in "Kua Fu Chasing the Sun" was a giant, and he was a descendant of Houtu, the "God of the Netherworld."

This seems to correspond to the "Twilight Giant" pathway and the "Death" pathway, respectively, and it seems normal for there to be family relationships between two adjacent pathways.

And the Yellow Emperor, the things he did, recalling them, seem to be some things that the "Judgement" or "Black Emperor" pathway could do.

Fuxi used symbols to explain the myriad things of nature and deduce the development of situations, which is a bit like the "Hermit."

Gonggong was the God of Water and "angrily struck Buzhou Mountain," which is a bit like a grumpy old brother.

Dayu's tribe worshipped the sun, but they had the ability to control water, and "Sun" and "Storm" are adjacent pathways, so it seems like there is a connection…

If he didn't think about it, it wouldn't matter, but thinking about it like this, Audis thought of many legendary gods who seemed to have some connection with the Extraordinary.

But a new question arose: As far as the current Extraordinary world is concerned, those are legends of prehistoric civilizations, so how could they be related to the Extraordinary? Did the Extraordinary briefly awaken in the primitive tribal era of prehistoric civilizations?

Immediately afterward, Audis stood up abruptly: In the future, I can "reproduce" some of the things these gods have done!

Theoretically speaking, the fewer people who know about certain Extraordinary histories or Extraordinary figures, the greater the power of "reproduction," so Bernadette's "reproduction" is basically inseparable from "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Andersen's Fairy Tales."

And those myths of the East, although "The Fool" also knows them, he does not have the ability to "reproduce" them.

Audis took a deep breath to calm down and wanted to be promoted quickly and try "reproducing" them.

Then he continued to put his hand on the Crystal Skull, and the previous scene continued.

The being with oriental charm continued: "Currently, the only useful method for me is to go to sleep and constantly fight against divinity in my dreams. Last time, I slept for hundreds of years, and I don't know how long I will sleep next time."

Audis realized at this time that this was a conversation between two gods who were deeply troubled by divinity.

The "Ancient Sun God's" plan ultimately failed. I wonder what happened to this being with oriental charm later?

The Ancient Sun God asked in a deep voice: "What is your plan for this?"

"My plan cannot be known by too many people either."

After saying this, the other party suddenly turned his head, and the Crystal Skull saw a face composed of rolling symbols. On this face, which was constantly emerging with new symbols, there was a pair of indifferent eyes.

At this moment, the scene ended. It seemed that the Crystal Skull was "stunned" by some kind of power from the other party. He did not die, because there were still many scenes later.

At the same time, Audis also realized that it was likely because of a glance at that being that the Crystal Skull's brain had undergone some kind of mutation. Thousands of years after his death, his memories still remained in this state.

And that being's plan was obviously not something he wanted this servant to know.

Immediately afterward, Audis recalled the other party's face, which was a rolling stream of information and a pair of indifferent eyes!

A "rolling stream of information" is generally a characteristic of high sequences of the "Hermit" pathway. Could that be a being of the "Hermit" pathway?

Then Audis thought again that after discovering the ruins of the Stiano family, he learned that the Stiano family most likely originated in the Third Epoch and a True God appeared in the Fourth Epoch.

And Audis is currently unclear about the situation of the "Moses Ascetic Order," but he guessed that the "Hidden Sage" should have also appeared in the Third Epoch.

It's just that in the Third Epoch, in addition to the power of the "Ancient Sun God," the power of other gods could only be regarded as secret organizations, so there were not many records of the "Moses Ascetic Order" and the Stiano family left behind.

In any case, Audis had always thought that before the Fourth Epoch, these two pathways had not produced True Gods.

But today's scene made Audis's original understanding shake. It was not that True Gods had not appeared, but that it was very likely that True Gods had appeared, but they were not well known by people today because they did not leave any records.

Then he recalled some of the words of Bernadette's younger brother, Bonova, that the "God of Steam and Machinery" seemed to have done something to hide information related to that being.

The final result was that a god disappeared in the long river of Extraordinary history, and there were not even legends about him surviving.

At this time, Audis suddenly thought: The "Hermit" pathway is inseparable from mystery and knowledge. Since it is related to "mystery," it is likely that that being deliberately made himself mysterious, unlike the "Ancient Sun God," who was a "public" god.

He believed that the "God of Steam and Machinery" would not have to make much effort to hide most of the traces of the other party's existence.

Finally, Audis thought again: This god said that he was fighting against the "Primordial One." Could it be that he had already tried to accommodate the "Knowledge Moor"? But in the end, he still failed.

He thought of Klein's situation. He didn't know if the "Knowledge Moor" had a structure similar to the light gate of "The Castle"? Did it also "collect" many "Remnants of Doomsday" in advance and release them at the right time to allow a certain ancient being to be resurrected in a certain human body when the time was right?

Previously, this being was the first, and Audis felt that he might be the second.

The first one had been constantly fighting against divinity, and it was possible that this struggle had failed, but that ancient being, similar to "Celestial Venerable," had also failed to resurrect, so at the right time, he threw Audis out again.

This made Audis couldn't help but frown, which meant that although he could now use part of the abilities of the "Knowledge Moor," this process was equivalent to borrowing from the "Knowledge Moor," and he would definitely have to repay it after becoming an angel in the future.

The battle against divinity is bound to be a long process, possibly lasting hundreds or thousands of years. Even thinking about it now, Audis feels mentally exhausted.

However, having embarked on this path, there's no turning back. He can only prepare more to face the future.

Thinking of these things, Audis continued to look down. The following scenes were quite dull, until the last one.

This scene looked very blurry, only able to vaguely make out that the "Crystal Skull" was frantically running from an indoor structure with long corridors into the wilderness. He also faintly saw a figure taller than a mountain, collapsing to the ground under the siege of many slightly smaller figures, who immediately retreated.

Soon, a bright light, a thick bolt of lightning, and a flying dragon rushed towards the fallen giant figure.

At this moment, a figure rolling with streams of information appeared, blocking the three figures, but the next second, a mass of blood-red substance suddenly appeared, holding back the figure rolling with streams of information, giving the three figures a chance.

The three figures finally rushed to the side of the giant figure. For a time, three different weathers and colors appeared between the earth and the sky: on one side of the sky, a sun rose; in the middle, dark clouds gathered, with thunder and lightning; on the other side, a tall white tower rose from the ground.

Immediately afterward, the earth and sky shook, and the air seemed to crack. The screen went black, and the memory stopped. This was the last segment of memory of the "Crystal Skull".

Audis took a deep breath, guessing that the figure taller than a mountain should be the "Ancient Sun God", and the slightly smaller figures should be the members of the "Redemption Rose".

When the "Ancient Sun God" fell, the members of the "Redemption Rose" retreated together, leaving space for the "Ancient Sun God" to recover its Uniqueness and Extraordinary Characteristics.

At this moment, the "Pure White Angel", "Wind Angel", and "Wisdom Angel" suddenly rushed towards the corpse of the "Ancient Sun God". The "Hermit" pathway deity, who had already noticed this, came forward to block them.

However, He was entangled by a mass of blood-red substance, and the three "Angel Kings" finally had the opportunity to obtain the Uniqueness and Characteristics they needed, and simultaneously became Gods.

This led to the complete fall of the "Ancient Sun God", and a huge change occurred in the earth, as if even space had cracked.

The master of the "Crystal Skull" died in the very beginning stage of the "Great Cataclysm".

Audis estimated that later, a portion of space completely collapsed, and "Sun", "Lightning", and "Knowledge" all underwent significant changes, ultimately turning nearly half of the land in the world at that time into the "Land Abandoned by God".

Thinking of this, Audis couldn't help but frown, because this was very different from some of the information he had obtained before.

Especially the appearance of that illusory character figure almost completely changed that period of history.

Because Audis noticed that the three "Angel Kings" at that time were completely blocked by the opponent, but that mass of blood-red substance didn't know what it was, and it actually held back that figure with illusory characters.

Thinking of these things, Audis noticed that the Crystal Skull on the workbench had already changed. The colorful liquid inside the skull had disappeared, leaving only a crystal shell.

Audis sighed and said to the skull, "When we land on the island, I will find a chance to bury you."

At this moment, the "Argo" suddenly sounded an alarm, and then Bivis's voice came from the "Sound Transmission Array": "Night is coming! Quickly find a place to sleep! Night is coming..."

Audis was stunned. Looking out from the porthole, the midday sun that had just been there disappeared, and a thick darkness quickly enveloped them.

This change was very fast and very abrupt, even giving Audis the illusion: Who turned off the lights?

Previously, Audis had repeatedly emphasized the horror of the night in this space. If you don't fall asleep when night falls, you will disappear into the darkness forever.

The crew members were all mentally prepared, so after hearing the Third Mate's reminder, they quickly returned to their rooms.

Audis was also prepared. The armchair was behind him, and around the armchair, he had also drawn a magic circle that could keep him awake in the dream.

Audis lay on the armchair, and the moment he closed his eyes, he entered the dream.

Immediately afterward, he found himself standing on a mountain, with a black building behind him and to his left and right. Judging from the style, it should belong to the Third Epoch, like a series of monasteries.

In front of Audis was a cliff with no bottom in sight. Across the cliff was a mountain covered with countless palaces, countless towers, and magnificent city walls.

Those buildings were magnificent and gorgeous, unlike places where humans lived. The colors of dusk were sprinkled on the city, and the light seemed to solidify. This gave those tall buildings an indescribable sense of epic and miracle.

Audis once again sighed inwardly: As expected, hearing about it and seeing it are two completely different things.

He had heard of the "Giant Court" more than once before, feeling that it was just a place name, but at this moment, he felt the shock of the "Dwelling of the Gods".

At this moment, a voice appeared in Audis's ear: "What do you think the magnificent building across the cliff is?"

Audis was stunned, seeing Klein with the face of Gehrman Sparrow walking quickly. He naturally asked the question just now.

"It should be the 'Giant Court'," Audis did not hide.

Klein asked again: "Where is this 'Shared Dream'?"

At this moment, Audis suddenly thought that the magic circle around his armchair seemed to be superfluous. He was a "Favored of the Night", and he could move freely in the dream anyway, so what was the point of drawing that magic circle?

His hesitation made Klein ask: "You don't know where this is either?"

Audis was stunned for a moment, then realized that Klein thought he was in a semi-confused state, so he wanted to extract more information.

So he pretended to be a little dazed and said: "This is the dream of an existence! He appeared as early as the Second Epoch, and his power reached its peak state in the Third Epoch."

Klein's expression became serious following Audis's description. He asked: "Who is that?"

At the same time, he already had some guesses in his heart.

Audis pretended to be confused and said: "His name is Sherlock Moriarty!"

Klein's pupils shrank, as if he had heard the most terrifying ghost story!

Then he obviously showed panic, and even had the urge to run away.

"Hahaha!" Audis finally couldn't help but laugh: "You have a way to stay awake in the dream, why can't I?"

In fact, it would have been better if he had said that this was the dream of "Klein Moretti", but they had not communicated about the affairs of Tingen City, so Audis's joke would have gone too far if he said that.

At this time, Klein twitched the corner of his mouth, and just now he felt the hairs on the back of his head stand up: scaring people can scare people to death.

He asked: "What exactly is this place?"

Audis smiled and said: "I learned from some channels that this is indeed the dream of an existence. As long as you appear in the 'Ruins of the God War', as long as you fall asleep in the 'Ruins of the God War', you will appear here."

Klein didn't continue to ask, but said: "I want to go down and explore, want to go together?"

"Okay," Audis said.

So the two people went down the mountain. Audis naturally asked: "How have you been recently?"

"Still the same," Klein said, "What about you?"

"Relatively speaking, my life is more exciting," Audis said, "Fighting pirates, dealing with the navy, and building an island."

Klein also recalled: Actually, my life in the past few months has been quite exciting, such as hunting pirates, doing volunteer work, and playing the role of a navy admiral.

Thinking of this, Klein's mouth quietly turned up: "My life is not as exciting as yours."

But, I have commanded you!

Audis did not notice the corner of Klein's mouth that quietly turned up: "Sometimes we really should get together and talk about our recent experiences.

"Well... how should I say it, our goals are roughly the same."

Klein was stunned: "Not quite the same, right?"

He thought to himself: I want to improve myself and avenge Ince Zangwill, do you also want to avenge that guy?

Audis smiled, knowing that Klein had misunderstood his meaning, but at this time he did not explain, but talked about other topics.

In the chat, the two people came to the gate of the black monastery.

This gate is nearly ten meters high, and it is very similar to the scene of the "Giant Court" across the cliff, not like it was prepared for humans.

The two people tried to slowly push the door open. Inside, there were two dim-colored towers and a series of black buildings, connected to each other by廊桥, with a square composed of gray stones in the middle.

The square was pitted and uneven, with huge arrows inserted in it, and several piles of flames burning, as if it had been attacked before.

The "Future"'s First Mate Frank Lee, the "Golden Dreamland"'s First Mate Blue Walls, and the "Argo"'s Second Mate Rupert Sean and other crew members were all on this huge square.

Audis and Klein entered the square. Frank Lee was closest to them, holding a shovel, shoveling gravel, and next to him were many foods that had fallen on the ground in the restaurant when the "Future" entered the "Ruins of the God War" before.

Klein stepped forward and asked: "What are you doing?"

Frank's movements did not stop, but a smile appeared on his face: "I have cultivated some little things, they need to sleep in the soil for a while before they can grow and reproduce."

Klein asked curiously and worriedly: "What are they for?"

Frank, with a face full of smiles, said as if talking about his own children, "They are a hybrid bacteria that can make bulls produce milk as well. This way, we will harvest more milk and let more people drink better milk."

Klein almost covered his face: Let those bulls go.

At this time, Odys smiled and asked Frank, "If the bulls are going to produce milk, who will plow the land?"

Frank obviously paused for a moment: "That's right, or should we let the cows plow the land?"

Odys was also stunned, and then he said, "I have a better idea."

Frank stopped the work in his hands and looked at Odys: "What idea?"

Odys smiled and said, "We can let the cows concentrate on producing milk and let the bulls concentrate on plowing the land."

Frank was a little confused, but also said seriously, "That makes sense!"

Klein quickly turned his head away, already laughing. If it were in the real world, Gehrman Sparrow's persona would have collapsed.

Then the two continued forward and came to the crew of the 'Golden Dream'. The first mate, Blue, and the third mate, Jordeson, were competing in fencing. Because they were in a dream, their movements were a bit sluggish, so the battle was not intense, more like playing around.

Many crew members sat aside watching, with expressions of either watching the excitement or looking forward to it.

Blue and Jordeson kept attacking each other with words while fighting.

After Blue thrust out a sword and was blocked by Jordeson, he smiled and said, "Do you think your sword-swinging movements are very handsome? The captain won't pay attention to a tasteless guy like you."

Jordeson was not angry, but after thrusting out a sword, he said, "The captain pays even less attention to an old and rude pirate like you."

Blue did look a few years older than Jordeson.

Most of the surrounding crew members were gloating, with no intention of mediating.

Odys and Klein both recalled the situation on the "Golden Dream". The two smiled at each other and continued forward.

When he saw Rupert sitting by the fire in contemplation, Odys said, "I think there should be many key clues in the monastery. Let's go and take a look."

Klein thought of the scene where he was teased on the mountain just now, ignored Odys's urging, and quickly came to Rupert. Odys had no choice but to follow.

Klein asked Rupert, "What are you thinking about?"

Rupert looked at Klein blankly and said, "I was thinking, why did the 'Mystic Queen' suddenly go to Cruz Island yesterday?"

Klein was stunned: The "Mystic Queen" suddenly went to the island that Captain Alger was building?

Then he thought of some information he had heard: It seems that the "Argo" is not just flying the flag of "Dawn of Elements". The "Mystic Queen" seems to value this pirate group very much.

Odys was also stunned, because he had not mentioned Bernadette's visit to Cruz Island to anyone on the "Argo", and Rupert had sailed out to sea a few days ago. How did he know about the things on Cruz Island?

But soon he thought that Rupert seemed to have found his messenger recently. It was estimated that Basel knew about the "Mystic Queen's" arrival on Cruz Island and wrote a letter to tell Rupert.

Then Rupert said again, "I'm also thinking, if the 'Mystic Queen' marries our captain in the future, will the 'Mystic Queen' marry the captain? Or will the captain marry the 'Mystic Queen'?"

The corners of Klein's mouth turned up again, and he tried his best to hold back his laughter: No wonder the "Mystic Queen" values "Sword of Daybreak" so much, it turns out there is such a reason in it.

And Odys's entire face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Rupert continued, "I'm still thinking, the captain is sometimes unable to let go. It is a good thing to be appreciated by a big figure like the 'Mystic Queen'.

"She gave us hats and flags, and only wants 10% of the spoils. This is obviously interested in our captain!

"Our captain should..."

Odys interrupted: "Okay, stop thinking!"

If you think wildly again, I will beat you into a retard, and see how you can think.

Klein tried his best to hold back his laughter and continued to the monastery with Odys.

Odys explained, "It's not what you think."

Klein nodded: "I know, I know."

"You..." Odys was a little helpless: "You know shit!"

Klein had a sense of revenge: "Yes, I know shit."

Odys smiled bitterly and didn't explain anything else.

The two came to the black gate of the monastery in silence. Odys pushed open the equally nearly ten-meter-high gate alone in front.

Behind the main entrance was a vast hall supported by two rows of thick stone pillars.

There was no candlelight in the hall. As the main entrance opened, the light from outside shone in, and the hall became clear.

Klein saw colorful murals, mainly gold, on the walls and dome. They were connected to each other without gaps, giving the place a magnificent and sacred feeling.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A figure was facing away from Odys and Klein, chopping a long log with an axe in his hand.

This figure was young, with short blond hair, wearing a white shirt and a black vest. He was not a pirate from the "Argo" or the other two ships.

Then Klein realized something: It seems that there are other people in this sea area.

So he stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing? What is this place?"

The young man continued his work: "What are you asking these for? My ship has sunk, and I'm busy making a canoe. I don't have time to talk to you."

Odys said at this time, "Isn't this Anderson? Why are you here?"

Klein was stunned: Captain Alger's acquaintance?

Anderson looked up at Odys: "'Admiral of Mysteries'? Why do you know me?"

Odys smiled and said, "You know me because of my bounty. I know you to avoid you taking my head to exchange for the bounty."

Anderson laughed and said, "Only a fool would hunt the 'Admiral of Mysteries'.

"The three pirate groups you wiped out were all very strong, and they have been fighting the Feneapot Navy for the past month. The Loen Navy only symbolically offered a bounty of 10,000 pounds. It is said that you are also flying the flag of 'Dawn of Elements'.

"If you haven't gone crazy, you won't go looking for trouble with you."

Odys smiled and said, "I was wondering why I waited so long and no bounty hunters came to my door to die."

Then he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't I just say it?" Anderson sighed: "I'm making a canoe.

"Now I'm 'Unlucky Anderson'. Ever since I saw that mural, I've been shrouded in bad luck."

As he said this, he pointed in a direction. Klein and Odys followed the direction and saw a mural.

The mural depicted an ocean burning with flames. It was split in the middle, revealing a path.

On the road, there was a long line of people. The members were either bowing their heads reverently or kneeling on the ground. They prayed, and the target of their worship was in the depths of the sea.

This immediately reminded Klein of the mural that "Little Sun" found in the "Land Abandoned by God".

Thanks to [Book Friend 2024020445_BC] for the reward.
