Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

#316 - The Fool hits Cattleya at the Tarot Club

Although Audis recalled that the "Fountain of Youth" seemed to be a hoax, and the ritual prepared by the "Undying King" to advance to "Devil," he still used "Flight" to arrive at the "Future."

At this time, Cattleya and others were discussing the "Fountain of Youth." "Star Admiral" glanced at the "Gustav Staff" in Audis's hand, sprinkled a handful of colored powder, and outlined a picture for Audis from the ruins, a scene on a ship.

It was in a captain's room, but there was no one there. Only a Fursac phrase was left on the wooden floor: Fountain of Youth.

At the end of this word, the bloodstains suddenly turned and lengthened, and there were obvious drag marks in the room.

It seemed that someone wanted to leave some information about the "Fountain of Youth," but was dragged away by something just after writing a phrase.

Audis said, "I have heard some legends about the 'Fountain of Youth.'"

Cattleya heard the implication in his words: "You don't believe in the existence of the 'Fountain of Youth'?"

"I believe it." Audis smiled and said, "There may indeed be a Fountain of Youth, but eighty or ninety percent of the Fountain of Youth's water will bring great negative effects.

"Let me give you an example. If it turns people into monsters, but you can gain eternal life, who would be willing to try such a thing?"

Anderson, who was very happy just now, was immediately disappointed: "Can't we keep some beautiful imaginations?"

But he knew very well in his heart that "Admiral of Mysteries" was closer to the truth: According to the characteristics of extraordinary distortion, even if there is a Fountain of Youth, there should be unacceptable negative effects.

"Let's not imagine how the 'Fountain of Youth' makes people 'immortal' first." Cattleya said at this time: "Let's talk about the situation of this ship first."

She paused and then said: "If the crew of that ship encountered danger and died while searching for the 'Fountain of Youth,' I don't think anyone would have enough motivation to leave correct information for later comers before they died.

"After all, those who can find this place are probably not his family members."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then nodded, thinking that "Star Admiral's" guess was very reasonable.

Cattleya said again: "Successful adventures often stem from detailed information and sufficient preparation, and these are not available now."

So she ordered loudly: "Continue sailing and leave this sea area!"

Audis also returned to his ship. More than ten minutes later, the counter-intuitive falling and rising happened again, but the prepared people were no longer as embarrassed as when they came.

Just after returning to the normal blue sea, Audis, in the captain's room, saw a giant ship in the distance through the porthole. It was about two hundred meters long, with the front and rear raised high, like a crescent moon.

Looking at the sails depicting black tombstones, Audis took a deep breath and said, "The Reaper!"

As he spoke, he looked at Bernadette.

"I know what you're thinking." Bernadette said, "I attacked this ship a long time ago, but when the battle reached a critical point, an angel from the Demon family suddenly descended, covering the 'Reaper's' retreat."

She paused and then said: "At least two angels are needed to launch an effective attack."

"Okay." Audis took a deep breath.

The "Argo" and the other two ships sounded the alarm, ready for battle.

At this moment, the "Reaper" suddenly turned and left at a speed far exceeding the "Argo's" "Advance 4."

The crew members of the three ships were all stunned, not expecting the "Reaper" to run away like this!

Audis knew that this was because the "Undying King" felt the threat from the "Mysterious Queen," so he turned around and ran.

"After being away for a few days, I have some things to take care of." Bernadette said indifferently.

Audis nodded and said, "I also want to go back to Cruz Island to take a look."

Bernadette gave an "hmm," and illusory wings suddenly grew out of her back. When the wings disappeared, she also disappeared.

Audis greeted Rupert and Bives, and also used "Travel" to return to Cruz Island. Upon seeing First Mate Basel, the other party immediately said: "Someone sent an invitation to the 'Pirate Conference,' inviting you to be one of the hosts of the meeting."

Audis smiled: "Who sent it?"

"It is said to be a subordinate of 'Black Hand' Alva." Basel reported: "It was just sent yesterday, and the other party's ship just set sail from Cruz Island this morning."

Audis glanced at Basel, and the first mate immediately understood the captain's meaning: "I left a mark on his ship."

"Let's go, we'll pay a visit to the friend who sent the invitation." Audis smiled.

So Audis took Basel into the spirit world. After a few seconds of shuttle, the two arrived on a small sea ship.

The sudden appearance of the two people startled the crew on the ship, and they picked up their weapons one after another, surrounding the two people, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

Basel said: "I am Basel, the first mate of the 'Argo.' I am looking for Mr. Kir."

Kir, a man in his forties, tall and big like a brown bear, came out of the cockpit: "Mr. Basel, do you have anything else?"

Basel introduced: "This is the captain of the 'Argo.'"

Kir was stunned for a moment, then immediately squeezed out a smile and said: "Captain Gere, I thought I wouldn't be able to get the invitation into your hands."

Audis said: "Tell 'Black Hand' Alva to meet at the Seaweed Bar in Bayam at eight o'clock tonight. I have something to discuss with him."

Kir was stunned again: "Captain Gere, your invitation is too urgent..."

"I got information before that Alva is on Blue Mountain Island." Audis said: "If he doesn't show up at the 'Seaweed Bar' at eight o'clock, I will go find him.

"But in that case, it won't be to discuss with him."

After speaking, Audis held Basel's shoulder and entered the spirit world again.

Kir was stunned for two or three seconds before he quickly turned back to write a letter to the captain.

...

Audis and Basel returned to Cruz Island, and Audis suddenly asked: "What day is it today?"

"Sunday." Basel replied.

Audis thought to himself that the Tarot Club would be held tomorrow, and he remembered that Mr. Fool would also knock Cattleya at this Tarot Club.

Then Audis asked Basel about the recent situation of Cruz Island. The progress of the project was normal, but in the few days that Audis was away, about 10,000 pounds had been spent again.

Audis calculated that his savings were only about 15,000 or 6,000 pounds. At this rate of spending, he wouldn't be able to last for a few days.

Fortunately, except for the construction site on Lighthouse Mountain, the building materials for other projects have basically been purchased. Starting from these two days, the daily expenses have begun to decrease.

After thinking about it a little, Audis decided to wait until after the Tarot Club tomorrow to get an income before considering the issue of increasing income.

If it really doesn't work, he will return to his old business and fight pirates.

It's not easy to kill a "Pirate General," but it's no problem to fight a "Great Pirate" or something.

After learning about the situation on Cruz Island, Audis used "Travel" to come to Bayam. He asked Allen to prepare a gift, changed his appearance with the pendant with the "Faceless Man" ability, and then went to Anning Church to visit Bishop Dean.

Bishop Dean warmly welcomed Audis and came to a small reception room. After chatting for a while, Audis explained his intention: "Bishop, I will be going to Nohaus Island recently, and for some reasons, I will enter the 'Dangerous Sea Area.' Has the previous 'Pluto' outpost been cleared?"

Bishop Dean was stunned for a moment before saying: "Even if that kind of place is cleared, it is still very dangerous."

"Of course I know." Audis smiled and said: "I hope to set a trap there."

Bishop Dean didn't ask who the trap was for, but after thinking about it for a while, he said: "It has been cleared, but the 'Soldier' who passed through the 'Sailor' before is missing. That sea area is still very dangerous."

Audis recalled the scene of being chased by the demigod-level elf before. He thought to himself: It would be great if that elf hadn't been cleared.

This would be a perfect trap to confuse the real with the fake!

After Audis asked for the information he wanted to know, he chatted with Bishop Dean for a few more words, and then had dinner early with Allen.

While eating dinner, Audis couldn't help but sigh that he was really a hard-working person. As soon as he came back from the "God War Ruins," there were so many things waiting for him to do.

Around eight o'clock, Audis came to the Seaweed Bar.

As soon as he entered the door, the bar, which was still bustling just now, suddenly became very quiet.

Because Audis entered the door with his original face, and at this time, he was "Admiral of Mysteries" Gere. Although the bounty was not high, "Pirate Generals" rarely appeared in Bayam.

In the surprised, admired, and fearful eyes of the people around him, Audis went straight to the bar.

There, at the bar, a man in his thirties with a beard and a rough look smiled and said: "Captain Gere, hello! I didn't expect you to ask me to meet in such a place."

This person is "Black Hand" Alva.

The drinkers also realized that this was a meeting between a "Pirate General" and a "Great Pirate."

They perked up and listened intently to the conversation.

Just remembering part of the content of this conversation could be sold for a good price to an information peddler.

Audis said: "This is mainly to make you come to the appointment. You should feel safer in crowded places."

Alva smiled: "That's true."

Then he asked: "What do you want me to do?"

Audrys didn't immediately get down to business. Instead, he ordered a beer, and with a wave of his hand, that dazzling "star sand" appeared in his palm. Then, to the surprise of the bar patrons, they saw a thin layer of mist obscure "Admiral of Mystery" and "Blackhand" Alva.

After that, they couldn't hear the two men's conversation at all, which made the bar patrons somewhat disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.

Several patrons had already rushed out to find the information peddlers they knew. After all, just the fact that "Admiral of Mystery" had suddenly appeared in Bayam was a piece of information worth selling.

In the mist, Audrys said to Alva, "I have something I want to discuss with you."

Alva quickly said, "Please speak."

Audrys went straight to the point: "I want the 'Pirate Gathering' to be held on Cruz Island this time."

Alva thought for a moment before remembering that "Admiral of Mystery's" base seemed to be on Cruz Island.

This made him a little embarrassed. "Captain Galle, that's against the rules."

Generally speaking, the place where the "Pirate Gathering" is held cannot be the base of any 'Pirate Admiral.' Not to mention a 'Pirate Admiral,' even a 'Great Pirate' would be unwilling to hold a meeting on someone else's territory.

"Rules are made by people," Audrys said casually, taking a sip of his beer. "Let me put it this way, if this gathering isn't held on Cruz Island, then you will definitely be attacked by the navy during the meeting."

Alva was stunned for a moment before asking with a gloomy face, "Captain Galle, have you heard of the 'King of the Five Seas'? Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules set by the 'King of the Five Seas' and being retaliated against by him?"

His background was "King of the Five Seas" Nast Solomon. In fact, the "Pirate Gathering" has been able to be held under Nast's instruction and support.

Based on the recognition of strength, Alva would be very polite to Audrys, but that didn't mean he would be intimidated by Audrys's threat.

Audrys smiled and said, "Then I'll change the organization that attacks the 'Pirate Gathering.' How about 'Dawn of the Elements'? Would that satisfy you?"

Alva was stunned for a moment. Of course, he knew that "Admiral of Mystery" had the dual background of "Dawn of the Elements" and the navy.

After frowning and thinking for a second or two, Alva said, "Captain Galle, why do you want to do this?"

"I want the pirates to understand Cruz Island," Audrys said without concealment. "It will be a stable and fair place to sell stolen goods. It can guarantee the personal safety of pirates, and pirates can go there to spend money with confidence."

Alva was stunned for a moment and then said, "That island should be very desolate, right?"

"Whether it's desolate or not, you can ask the subordinate who sent the invitation," Audrys finished the beer in his glass. "Not many pirates know that I have a base on Cruz Island, so they won't be too resistant to it."

He didn't give Alva a chance to continue bargaining, and just got up and said, "I'll wait for your news."

Audrys smiled and said, "Finally, let me advise you, if this 'Pirate Gathering' is not held on Cruz Island, then don't hold it at all."

Seeing that "Admiral of Mystery" was about to leave, Alva quickly said, "What benefits can I get?"

Audrys said as he walked out, "Your head continuing to stay on your neck is a benefit. Your bounty seems to be 5,200 pounds, right? I'm a little short of money recently."

Alva watched "Admiral of Mystery" leave, realizing that this might be a contest between "Sea Kings," or it might be a conspiracy of the navy's high command.

No matter what it was, he had no right to make a decision himself, and had to report this matter to the "King of the Five Seas" as soon as possible.

… …

After finishing the important matters, Audrys returned to the captain's cabin of the "Argo" and contacted Edwina with the crystal ball to discuss the subsequent itinerary.

Early Monday morning, a fleet consisting of the "Argo," "Future," and "Golden Dream" approached the port of Toskat Island.

The governor of the Toskat Islands was almost fainted by this lineup of the fleet. Just as he was about to ask the navy for help, Rupert, the first mate of the "Argo," came to the port and expressed his hope to rest and resupply at the port of Toskat.

The governor breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his life and official position had been saved.

Toskat Island is also a relatively large island in the Sonia Sea, and it is the easternmost colony of Loen, and a "sentry" against the Fursac Empire.

It is impossible for pirate ships to dock on such an island.

But that is "generally speaking." At this time, the governor of Toskat Island was very welcome to the "Pirate Admiral," as long as he didn't come to attack Toskat Island.

After the "Future" docked, it only put Klein and Anderson down. The "Star Admiral" then led the "Future" and the crew away.

Audrys and Edwina then informed the crew to rest here until tomorrow morning.

Anderson left the dock with Klein, who was wearing the face of Gehrman Sparrow. "The Strongest Hunter" Anderson watched the "Future" leave quickly, and saw the crew of the "Argo" and "Golden Dream" disembarking and chatting and laughing. He smiled and said, "Edwina and Captain Galle's management is more humane."

Klein glanced at the direction of the port: "They seem to have other actions."

"You noticed it too," Anderson said with a smile. "They just parked in the port so undisguisedly, probably to show it to some people, so that people who want to know their whereabouts know that they have returned from the 'God war Ruins'."

Klein said "Hmm" and said nothing more.

Or rather, the Tarot Gathering will be held in the afternoon, and he may know what new plans "Admiral of Mystery" has.

At this time, Anderson looked around, and seeing that the people around were attracted by the "Argo" and the "Golden Dream," he cleared his throat and said, "Can you lend me some money?"

He explained: "You know, my harvest and my cash are all sunk in that sea."

Klein glanced at this "Strongest Hunter" and took out a 5 sol paper bill and handed it to him.

Anderson reached out to take the money and said, "So little? Only 5 sol?"

Klein said flatly, "Look carefully, this is 1 pound in cash."

"1 pound?" Anderson rubbed his eyes, looked at the bill back and forth, and finally smiled helplessly: "Okay, it's 1 pound."

… …

Audrys didn't go ashore and was always studying the "Gustav Staff" in his studio.

Soon it came to three o'clock in the afternoon, Audrys's vision was covered by gray fog, and in a blink of an eye, he had come to the side of the bronze long table in that magnificent hall that seemed to be prepared for giants.

"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'!" "Justice" Audrey's pleasant voice echoed in the magnificent palace.

"The Fool" Klein nodded with a smile, as a response.

Next, the other members also completed their greetings to each other.

When the greeting session was over, Klein immediately looked at "The Priestess" Cattleya and said in a casual tone: "You tell Bernadette that she can exchange some things for some answers."

Hearing this familiar name, Cattleya understood that Mr. "Fool" already knew everything, which made her uncontrollably feel a strong sense of fear, and even didn't know how to respond for a while.

"The Hermit" Audrys quietly watched this scene. He didn't have a chance to remind Cattleya before... Of course, the main reason was that he didn't plan to remind her.

This matter is indeed that Cattleya's behavior has a problem. In fact, she doesn't need to be so sneaky at all. She can tell "The Fool" her needs through a separate exchange.

It is very likely that Klein will agree to establish a certain connection with Bernadette, because for the current "Fool", "Dawn of the Elements" and "Mystic Queen" are very good channels.

And Cattleya's approach is a bit like the sense of sight of being caught by the teacher for secretly eating snacks with her deskmate in class.

For Audrys, it is also good for Cattleya to be taught a lesson and learn a lesson. At least Klein will not kill her, nor will he contaminate her.

The other members were guessing who Bernadette was at this time. At the same time, "Justice" Audrey and "Hanged Man" Alger guessed one after another that "The Priestess" should have used hints to reveal some things about the Tarot Gathering to the lady named Bernadette.

Audrey was a little angry after guessing, while Alger was somewhat gloating.

"The Sun" Derrick didn't think so much, but just felt that the person mentioned by Mr. "Fool" must not be simple, so he asked curiously: "Mr. 'Fool', who is Bernadette?"

Klein was calm on the surface, but thought in his heart: Good question! I thought "Justice" would ask such a question.

For him, clarifying Bernadette's identity is a very important part of hitting "Star Admiral", so he said lightly: "Rosell's eldest daughter, the owner of the 'Dawn', the leader of 'Dawn of the Elements'."

The reason for using "the owner of the 'Dawn'" instead of "Mystic Queen" is because Klein felt that "The Fool" could not call Bernadette the Queen.

Alger felt a burst of excitement in his heart when he heard "The Fool's" answer: Ha! Ms. "Priestess", it turns out that the rumors that you broke up with the "Mystic Queen" are false.

Bernadette has always maintained enough mystery, so that even the "Senior Pirate" Alger doesn't know the name and background of the "Mystic Queen", only knows that she is a very beautiful lady.

Then Alger felt comfortable and felt that the suppression of the past three months had disappeared all at once.

And couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Emperor Rosell said, those who play with fire will surely get burned, and "Star Admiral", you dare to challenge the insight of a god.

At this time, Cattleya finally calmed down and regained her ability to think. She turned to the top of the long bronze table and said, "Yes, I made some mistakes. I will not defend myself. It was indeed a mistake.

"'The Fool' Sir, no matter how you punish me, even kill me, I am willing to accept it."

"Hanged Man" Alger sneered at this: Hypocritical, if "The Fool" wants to punish you, can you still resist?

Audrey, "Justice" on the side, discerned the hidden fear of the other party from Cattleya's subtle movements and wording.

In her opinion, people who specifically emphasize that they are willing to be executed are often very afraid of dying.

The other members realized from "The Fool's" calm attitude that the situation of the Tarot Club should not have been leaked, so they felt relieved and watched what kind of punishment "The Fool" would make.

At this time, seeing "The Fool" Mr. briefly silent, "The Priestess" Cattleya couldn't control her uneasy mood, and slightly raised her head to observe this existence behind the thick gray fog.

Suddenly, Cattleya felt that the glasses in front of her eyes disappeared, and then illusory blood flowed out.

Her ears were followed by strange, terrifying, depraved, and indescribably terrifying roars.

This caused Cattleya's senses to be instantly occupied by extreme pain, and her body appeared uncontrollable convulsions and tremors.

Her face, arms, and places not covered by clothing soon cracked with cracks that could see flesh and blood, with black worms and white moths wriggling inside, about to form indescribable eyes.

Cattleya's screams echoed above the gray fog, causing the other members to look at each other, seemingly directly feeling the pain the other party was suffering.

"The Priestess's" pain lasted for two or three seconds. Klein stopped the simulation of the muttering of "The True Creator" when he saw it was good.

Regarding how to punish "Star Admiral", Klein made many preparations. At that time, he first thought of the characteristics that had been contaminated by the muttering of "The True Creator", letting her endure the muttering of "The True Creator" was a good plan.

However, the characteristics of "Marionettist" had already been crushed through the channel of "The Hermit", become harmless, and used for promotion, and there was no longer the muttering of "The True Creator".

At this moment, Klein noticed that the iron box that had been holding the characteristics of "Marionettist" had undergone a certain mutation.

After becoming Sequence 5, Klein was able to pry more of the power of the gray fog. Under the guidance of spirituality, he used this iron box as a medium to "restore" to a certain extent the characteristics that had been contaminated by "The True Creator".

This was a very wonderful discovery. The characteristic seemed to be a projection, which could not be used for promotion, but could only play a certain role on this "Above the Gray Fog".

What Klein didn't know was that this was actually an ability possessed at the level of "Ancient Scholar".

Because of the power of the "Source Castle", he possessed a little of the corresponding ability to a certain extent, but this ability was far from the real "Summoning Historical Void Images", and could only be used "Above the Gray Fog".

However, using such a "restoration" to punish "The Priestess" was more than enough.

Then it was waiting for an opportunity. Klein knew that, based on "The Priestess's" habits, if she didn't hear his reply, she would definitely look up at him.

So, the moment "Star Admiral" looked over, he quickly "took off" Cattleya's glasses and linked the muttering of "The True Creator" with her ability of "Eye of Secrets".

The punishment ended. After the terrifying "muttering" was gone, Cattleya's trembling quickly subsided, the flesh and blood cracks on her body gradually closed, and she quickly returned to normal.

At this time, Alger lowered his head and said in a low voice, "One must not pry into a god!"

As soon as this was said, the other members also became solemn. Although "The Fool" Mr. usually had no airs, almost always responded to requests, and gave people a very gentle feeling, He was always a god, an unknowable god.

Only Audrey also became serious, but thought in her heart: As expected of "Political Commissar Down", this compliment seems to have suddenly sublimated this punishment action.

Klein was also very satisfied in his heart. Originally, he wanted "The World" to say "Gods cannot be deceived" or "Gods cannot be spied upon".

But it was better for "Hanged Man" to say this sentence, because now the other members basically knew that "The World" was a follower of "The Fool". If "The World" said this, it would be a bit embarrassing.

For Klein, in fact, "Star Admiral" doing this was somewhat "lacking in standard": without grasping "The Fool" Mr.'s attitude, she directly gave external hints, she was too bold, which showed that the previous lessons were not enough.

Then he thought of the situation in Cattleya's dream: It seemed normal for "Star Admiral" to have such behavior, if the child is not taught, it is the mother's fault.

Thinking of this, he looked around and said calmly: "Let's leave it at that."

Hearing this sentence, Cattleya, whose spirit body had just recovered, breathed a sigh of relief. She sincerely said: "Remember your tolerance."

"The Fool" in the gray fog nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The magnificent hall was quiet for a while, and "The Magician" Fors first said: "Everyone, are you interested in taking on a murder mission?

"The target is an important member of a cult organization."

Recently, Fors was promoted to Sequence 7 "Astrologer", and her teacher Dorian Gray immediately gave her the Sequence 6 potion formula, as well as a very good magical item "Lemannu's Spellbook".

This made Fors want to do something for her teacher, so she thought of Louis Wien, the traitor of the Abraham family.

In Fors's view, "The Hermit", "The World", and "The Priestess" all seemed to have the strength to kill this traitor.

Audrey recalled the person Fors wanted to kill and was not very interested in this assassination mission.

For the next period of time, he would be planning the assassination of Duke Negan, and did not have the energy to do other assassination missions.

Moreover, assassination or assassination is very dangerous. He is not a professional assassin, so he should do as little as possible.

Cattleya had just been punished, and she was not in the mood to take on this task.

So, Audrey and others looked at "The World".

Klein manipulated The World to laugh hoarsely and said: "Where? What organization?

"What sequence? What are the characteristics of the ability?"

Audrey suddenly discovered: Huh? "The World" Mr. is a little different from before, an indescribable feeling, in short, different from before.

Fors responded happily: "He is an envoy of the 'Aurora Order', in Backlund, he is an extraordinary being of the 'Apprentice' pathway, formerly Sequence 6, now may be Sequence 5, but not sure."

Alger sat up straight all of a sudden: Isn't Sequence 5 of this pathway "The Traveler"? Very difficult to kill!
