Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

At the Tarot Club, the members' expressions gradually turned solemn after hearing "The Hermit" Odyssia's answer.

"The Fool" Klein deeply realized that the inside story of the God war that occurred in the Second Epoch was very complicated, and the participating parties had their own purposes, and this purpose seemed difficult to understand on the surface.

"The High Priestess" Cattleya realized: Could it be that the "Blood Ancestor" chose to commit suicide in order to avoid being completely contaminated?

Then she sighed: The contamination of the "Fallen Mother" is too powerful, even the ancient gods cannot get rid of it.

"The Moon" Emlyn immediately asked after being completely stunned for a moment: "Did 'The Ancestor' decide to perish together with other ancient gods on his own? Instead of being forced to do so?"

"Maybe that's the case." Odyssia replied with a smile: "You should know that I can't give you an accurate answer to this kind of question, I can only tell you my guess."

Emlyn nodded repeatedly: "I'm willing to listen, I'm willing to listen."

"The Hermit's" guess is generally very logical, even if the truth is not like that, it should not be too far off.

Odyssia continued: "I think that 'The Blood Ancestor' could not have been unaware that he was contaminated, and when he realized that he could not solve such contamination, there were only two paths in front of Him: one was to completely accept the contamination, and the other was to just fall and prevent the spread of contamination.

"If he is completely contaminated, 'The Blood Ancestor' is likely to lose himself, and if he falls, as a god, especially a god of the 'Moon' pathway with abundant spirituality, it is very likely that he will be able to revive.

"I think these two paths should not be difficult to choose."

Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief: "So, 'The Ancestor' chose to perish together with other ancient gods to end that contamination."

His eyes suddenly became a little wet: "'The Ancestor'... 'The Ancestor' is great!"

Odyssia thought to himself: I think He was more concerned about himself.

However, he didn't say such thoughts, and then said: "In my opinion, 'The Blood Ancestor' should have made such a decision after the God war occurred.

"Judging from the situation after the war, His decision lacked sufficient preparation, otherwise, He should have been able to fully revive not long after the God war."

Hearing this, Emlyn smiled bitterly: "But after several epochs, 'The Ancestor' has not fully revived."

Odyssia didn't say anything, because he knew very well that Lilith had completely revived in the late Second Epoch, but she revived with another identity.

He paused for a while before saying: "The above is all the information I have learned about that God war.

"Because the era is too long ago, there are still many details that are not very clear. I will continue to communicate with you after I get new information in the future."

Odyssia did know a lot of inside information, but it will be announced after the end of the God war next year.

Emlyn suddenly felt a little lost. He had been looking forward to trading this information, but now that this information has been traded, he feels like he has lost something important.

The magnificent hall fell into silence, and everyone was savoring the information they had just traded.

With the end of this transaction, the free exchange session began.

"The Sun" Derrick spoke first: "I have become a 'Justiciar'."

Klein had the urge to cover his face again: This doesn't need to be told to us.

But then Klein realized that the current "Little Sun" has grown to a certain extent. His sudden saying this should be to listen to everyone's views on "Justiciar".

After all, he is the only Beyonder of the "Sun" pathway in Silver City. If he wants to digest the potion as soon as possible, he doesn't even have anything to learn from.

"The Hanged Man" Alger also had similar thoughts, but he still calmly responded: "Although 'Justiciar' will get a great improvement in physique, it is still more of an auxiliary role.

"The ability to notarize effectively can be temporarily improved, and the ability to notarize ineffectively will be weakened or forcibly dispelled.

"At the same time, 'Justiciar' is also good at making contracts. Once they sign and approve, even Sequence 5 cannot violate it, and even demigods of Sequence 4 will have to pay a considerable price if they want to forcibly breach the contract."

As a member of the Storm Church, he knows many advantages and disadvantages of the "Sun" pathway.

"Little Sun" Derrick sincerely thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. 'Hanged Man'."

In addition to wanting to understand how everyone views "Justiciar" in order to find ideas for acting, it is also because after becoming Sequence 6, he can choose a Sealed Artifact from the Silver City's Round Tower to use.

Now that he has a sufficient understanding of "Justiciar", he believes that he should give priority to choosing a Sealed Artifact that is good at controlling targets. If there is none, then choose a Sealed Artifact with strong attack power to make up for his shortcomings.

After exchanging a few simple words and there were no new topics, Klein announced the end of this Tarot Club.

… …

Back in the real world, Odyssia saw the ceiling of the hotel, and then suddenly came back to his senses, thinking that he was on his way to take office.

He yawned, got up to prepare the altar, and completed this transaction at the Tarot Club.

He received 4,600 pounds in cash and more than a dozen extraordinary materials.

The cash was obtained from the information transaction, and some of those extraordinary materials were the information fees paid by "Little Sun", and some were the gold pounds that Odyssia paid in advance for the extraordinary materials for "Little Sun" last week.

"Little Sun" also used "low sequence" extraordinary materials to pay those gold pounds, of course.

After finishing all this, Odyssia drank a few mouthfuls of water and lay down on the bed to really take a nap.

There was nothing to do this afternoon. After Odyssia slept until he woke up naturally, he asked Bernadette to have dinner together. After dinner, they went out for a walk.

It's just that after eight o'clock, the people on the street seemed to suddenly become less.

Odyssia inquired a little before he knew that the security in Solotu City was not very good at night.

The two of them didn't continue to stroll around. After all, they were not policemen, so there was no need to maintain the security here.

Moreover, when the pedestrians have left, there may be only thieves and robbers left on the street, and there is nothing to stroll around.

That night, Odyssia and others rested early. Early the next morning, they got into the carriage, first went to the station to load those large boxes onto two freight carriages, and then the convoy consisting of five carriages set off.

The one hundred "Extraordinary Puppets" either led the way in front or followed behind, forming a team that didn't look so thin.

The road to Wotai City looked barely okay, but there were not many carriages on the road, because you have to enter the mountains not long after leaving Solotu City, where there are robbers everywhere.

Although Zert, the governor of Solotu Province, had defeated several large bandit armies, the fundamental problem had not been solved. The previous bandit army was wiped out, and new robbers emerged.

Generally, those who continue to go west are either the bandit army's caravan in Wotai Province, or the caravan of the two barons in Wotai Province, etc.

The former is not afraid of robbers, at worst, they will fight a battle, while the latter has already given enough benefits to the robbers along the way, and those bandits will not rob their things.

It's just that after walking for a morning, Odyssia and his party did not encounter any robbers.

Because they belong to the third situation: a large and powerful group.

The "Extraordinary Puppets" were still wearing military uniforms and carrying weapons, and small groups of robbers did not dare to rob such a team.

At noon, Odyssia and others rested in the shade of a tree at a village entrance. Although this is a mountainous area, there are also many villages.

Based on Odyssia's "experience", most of the robbers come from such villages. They farm at ordinary times and rob when they have the opportunity.

If you want to find the eyes and ears of the robbers in such villages, you can't find them at all, because they are all the eyes and ears of the robbers.

This is also why the bandits in the city and around the city are easily wiped out, but the bandit army in the mountains is difficult to wipe out.

At ordinary times, most of them are not bandits, and once they are defeated, they will all disperse and hide in the deep mountains, and then go home to continue farming after the state guards withdraw.

After a period of time, someone will call on them to organize them and form a new bandit army again.

And such a bandit army is not the most difficult to deal with. The most difficult bandit army is in Wotai Province and Shataier Province. The bandit army there is supported by foreign forces, and their equipment is better than the state guards.

In the afternoon, they continued on their way. At about three o'clock, they entered the territory of Wotai Province.

The weather has been very good these past two days. If it doesn't rain, they should be able to reach Wotai Province the day after tomorrow.

In fact, it doesn't matter much even if it rains, after all, the "Extraordinary Puppets" are not afraid of rain, it's just that the road will become very difficult to walk, affecting the journey.

After walking for another hour, when passing by a village on the roadside, Odyssia saw an old woman with a cane standing at the entrance of the village, looking indifferently at the team in front of her.

Odyssia glanced at the other person's expression and gave the order to stop the car. He opened the car window and asked, "Old Madam, do you need help?"

Bernadette, who was sitting in the same car as Odyssia, was a little strange, wondering why Odyssia suddenly wanted to help a passerby?

This is because Odyssia saw that the other person's eyes were lifeless, and she must have encountered great difficulties.

And this is already considered to be within the territory of Wotai Province, which is within Odyssia's jurisdiction. If he can help, Odyssia will help.

The old woman looked at Odyssia indifferently: "Help? Can you revive my son and daughter-in-law, revive my seven-year-old granddaughter?"

Odis was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood that the old woman was looking for a place to commit suicide, hence the deathly gray look in her eyes.

He opened the car door and got out: "I am the newly appointed Governor of Wotai Prefecture. Tell me, who killed them?"

"Governor?" The old woman sneered: "Heh!"

"Where was the governor when my son's intestines were cut, and he struggled in pain for a long time before dying?"

"Where was the governor when his wife was raped? Where was the governor when my granddaughter was kicked out, her head hit a rock, and her head was smashed in half on the spot?"

At this time, Long Ze'er, who had also gotten out of the carriage, said coldly: "Watch your tone!"

Odis waved his hand at Long Ze'er, and then said to the old woman: "I also sympathize with your experience, but I won't feel any guilt, because that is the responsibility of the previous governors, not mine."

"Tell me what happened. If the murderer is caught, I will execute them in front of your family's grave."

The old woman glanced at Odis, still indifferent, and said: "It's useless, it's useless... they're all dead..."

As she spoke, she slowly walked forward, crossed the road, and walked towards the woods on the mountain.

Long Ze'er was about to grab her back to prevent her from committing suicide, but Odis stopped him again: "Let her go, she no longer has the will to live."

Sometimes, for some people, living is torture.

Odis then said to Long Ze'er: "Go to the village and ask what happened? And ask clearly where this old woman's family is buried?"

Long Ze'er nodded: "Yes."

Immediately, Odis returned to the car and said to Bernadette: "Wait a moment."

Bernadette gave an "um" sound, with no objection. After all, she was accompanying Odis to take office this time, so of course, Odis's ideas were the priority when encountering problems.

She would only offer suggestions if Odis couldn't solve the problem.

At this time, Bernadette didn't ask Odis the purpose of doing this, but just quietly observed.

Soon Long Ze'er found out about the old woman's experience. Yesterday, a team of bandits passed through the village and brutally murdered the old woman's family.

The flag used by the bandit army was a flying eagle, which was the flag of the bandit leader Kreit.

Odis quickly recalled the information he had obtained before. Kreit was a bandit army supported by the Intis Republic.

This kind of bandit army is not quite the same as small groups of robbers. Many of them have received some professional training because they have certain financial support. They are more like mercenaries than small groups of robbers, who are half-civilian and half-military.

"I know." Odis nodded, and then said to Long Ze'er: "Take a few people to look for that old woman. If she's not dead, then leave her alone. If she commits suicide, then bury her with her family."

Long Ze'er gave an "um" sound: "Okay."

Then the convoy continued forward. Around dusk, Long Ze'er caught up and reported to Odis: "That old woman jumped off a cliff and committed suicide."

Odis just said faintly: "I know, continue forward."

Bernadette, who was sitting opposite Odis, suddenly said: "The bottom layer of this world is already very tragic."

"Of course, I know." Odis smiled and said: "So now I hope to popularize my inventions faster and use them to reshape this world."

Bernadette wanted to say something, but in the end, she just opened her mouth and said nothing.

In her impression, her father once had the idea of changing the world, but in the end, He still lost to this world.

Although Rosell left many political legacies to this world, it seems that there is still a distance from the goal of changing the world.

A century of life has made Bernadette lose hope in this, but she will not dispel Odis's enthusiasm because of some of her own views.

After dark, Odis came to the town where he was going to stay, but there were no lights in the town, which made Odis and others feel a little strange.

This is a town built along the road. There are some shops on both sides of the road, and behind the shops are some residents' houses.

The town is not very big, and you can see the other end at a glance.

After leaving Soloto City, it was evening when they arrived here, so there was such a town.

After entering the town, there was not a single person on the not-very-long main road.

Odis in the carriage looked at Bernadette, but Bernadette shook her head, indicating that her spirituality did not feel any danger.

Odis pondered for a moment and said: "Go to the hotel here, let's stay there first."

After entering the hotel, Long Ze'er asked the "Extraordinary Puppets" to prepare dinner, and then he took a few puppets and walked around the hotel, and found that some guest rooms still had luggage and some personal belongings.

The guests living in the hotel disappeared without a trace as if they had evaporated.

After Odis heard Long Ze'er's report, he didn't seem to care too much: "Go clean up a few rooms, let's stay there first."

Long Ze'er was stunned for a moment and reminded: "Governor, this place is a bit strange."

Odis smiled and said: "I've seen a lot of strange things, don't take it too seriously."

Long Ze'er's eyes seemed to be asking: Are you really so relieved to live here?

In fact, Odis has certain considerations for responding in this way. It is not clear what happened here? I don't know if this is an arrangement against him?

If all of this is not an arrangement against him, there is no use in worrying blindly.

If it is an arrangement against him, then the other party is likely to be forcing Odis and others to leave this town by doing this.

Even if they leave this town, the ambush they should encounter will still be encountered, so it is better to live here directly, which may catch the other party off guard.

With the two newly recruited clerks here, Odis certainly wouldn't say this too clearly.

After dinner, Odis and others returned to their rooms.

Soon Bernadette crossed the wall again and appeared in Odis's room: "I just made a 'prediction'. It is because of your arrival that this town suddenly became like this."

Odis smiled: "I'm not a robber, why are they running?"

In fact, he knew clearly that someone shouldn't want him to live in this town. As for who the other party was, he didn't know. It might be the bandits and nobles in Wotai City who were planning to "welcome" the new governor.

It may also be the enemies he provoked at sea before. After all, at that time, he relied on the "Protection of the Night" to provoke some extraordinary organizations. Now he is suddenly coming from the darkness to the light, and many people will definitely come to take revenge.

However, with the "Mysterious Queen" backing him, Odis was not too worried.

Odis pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that I have to work again tonight."

Bernadette smiled, then she would have a good show to watch.

In fact, she thought it was interesting to watch Odis fight against the enemy. Before, when she secretly observed Odis assassinating Duke Nigen, she realized that Odis, as an "Astrologer", was more powerful than when she was an "Astrologer."

So when she saw Odis fighting, it was like seeing a stronger version of herself fighting.

That night, Odis made full preparations, and the sealed objects and scrolls were placed at hand.

But after waiting all night, nothing happened.

This made Odis realize more and more that the enemy drove everyone away from here yesterday, just hoping that Odis would feel that something was wrong here, so he continued forward overnight.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that Odis would not follow their script at all.

At breakfast, Odis reminded Long Ze'er that he must be vigilant today, and distribute heavy weapons to the "Extraordinary Puppets."

He estimated that there would be an encirclement of enemies ahead, and there would inevitably be a battle.

The "Extraordinary Puppets" usually only carry cold weapons such as knives and swords, as well as modified "Flame Arrows" in the shape of revolvers.

The so-called distribution of heavy weapons refers to equipping two "Portable Spirit Wave Cannons" and twenty "Extraordinary Machine Guns", while other "Extraordinary Puppets" are equipped with semi-automatic rifles designed by Odis.

It is no exaggeration to say that this configuration is enough for them to defeat two fully organized regiments relatively easily, and it is still a frontal defeat.

Just as they were about to continue to set off, Long Ze'er caught a few sneaky people.

After questioning, they learned that they were residents of this town. Yesterday afternoon, someone suddenly shouted a few words, saying that Kreit's main force would spend the night in this town.

Saying it was spending the night, it was actually the people in the town providing them with food and accommodation, as well as providing them with entertainment. When they left, they would also rob all the belongings they could take away from the town, as well as most of the food.

This kind of thing happens from time to time in Wotai Prefecture. The residents of the town are also used to it. Once they encounter this kind of bandit army, they quickly run away. If they can't run away, they can only admit that they are unlucky and stay to serve the bandits.

Most of the time, the bandits will not carry out massacres at will. They also know that the population in this mountainous area is limited. If too many people are killed, there will be no place to rob in the future.

Odis asked Long Ze'er to let the people go, and the group continued on their way.

After walking for more than half an hour, Odis finally understood why the other party wanted him to hurry on his way overnight, because the road ahead was carved out of a cliff, and the width could only allow one carriage to pass through.

Every certain distance, there would be a small open space, which was a place for passing cars.

Audis looked out the car window, the cliff below revealing a rushing river and scattered rocks. An ordinary person falling from here would surely die.

While equipping an Sealed Artifact, Audis ordered them to continue forward, certain that the enemy would ambush the convoy here.

Because if it were him, he would definitely attack here.

Bernadette, sitting across from Audis, still looked relaxed. For a demigod, such a treacherous environment wouldn't affect her.

Suddenly, she turned her head to glance at the rock wall, and then cleared her throat.

The tacit understanding developed between the two during this time allowed Audis to instantly understand that they had already entered the enemy's ambush.

He also carefully looked at the rock wall, not noticing anything unusual, but Bernadette's reminder wouldn't be wrong.

So Audis immediately used the "Flying Scroll" and "Scale Armor Scroll", preparing for battle.

Suddenly, the horse pulling Audis seemed startled, rearing up and leaping towards the steep canyon.

Audis猛地 从 车厢 冲出 来 ， 朝着 马车 使 用 了 一个 “ 悬浮卷 轴 ”， 这辆 马车 没有 继续 下 坠 ， 就 那样 飘 在 了 半空 中 。

Audis carefully observed his surroundings, still unable to find any trace of the enemy.

After a moment's thought, Audis suddenly understood and threw a "Spirit Burst Scroll" towards the horse carriage's previous location.

The surrounding "Extraordinary Puppets" weren't greatly affected, because they didn't have spirit bodies at all, but this scroll would cause the spirituality within them to be temporarily disrupted, quickly returning to normal.

But the "Wraith" hiding in the rock wall crevices had to flee its original position. Audis grinned, his guess was right, the one ambushing him this time must be the "Rose School"!

The "Wraith's" concealment ability was very strong, and Audis's spirituality didn't sense its existence at all.

Flying in mid-air, Audis directly took out the "Staff of Disaster". The surrounding area within ten kilometers was uninhabited, making it a good opportunity to use this Grade 1 Sealed Artifact.

In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and streaks of pale white lightning exploded in front of the black, shadowy "Wraith".

At the same time, Ronzert directed the team, mainly composed of "Extraordinary Puppets", to quickly move forward, hoping to escape the battlefield as soon as possible.

After all, with the power of the Sealed Artifact in "Governor's" hand, these "Extraordinary Puppets" couldn't help much.

Flying in mid-air, Audis quickly noticed that the thick lightning bolts didn't seem to hit the "Wraith".

Then he looked up at the top of the mountain, where a woman wearing Lenburg attire with a gloomy expression was standing, tightly gripping a Southern Continent-style dagger in her hand, coldly staring at the "Wraith's" location.

Audis's spirituality immediately sensed that it was a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact, probably corresponding to Sequence 4.

The reason why the lightning hadn't harmed the "Wraith" was because this Sealed Artifact had blocked those attacks for it.

Audis estimated that the demigod who had appeared in Bayam before had sensed that Audis Gahr had a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact in his hand.

That's why their assassination attempt carried a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact.

Immediately afterwards, two more people appeared beside the woman holding the Grade 1 Sealed Artifact, their expressions indifferent, staring at the "Extraordinary Puppets" that were moving forward rapidly.

Then, behind them, a group of people with equally indifferent expressions appeared.

Audis estimated that those should be two "Living Corpses", and behind them were the corpses they were controlling.

The two "Living Corpses" suddenly bent over and ran towards the team of "Extraordinary Puppets" led by Ronzert, and the corpses behind them immediately followed.

Then they leaped down, preparing to jump into the middle of the "Extraordinary Puppets".

However, Ronzert discovered them in advance, and he immediately ordered loudly: "Machine Gunners! Attack those corpses jumping down."

Da da da da da da ~

Almost at the instant Ronzert gave the order, streams of fire-snake-like Extraordinary bullets sprayed out, forming a desperate net of firepower.

After being hit by machine gun bullets, those ordinary corpses were shattered like rags. Even the two "Living Corpses" couldn't withstand such dense gunfire, nimbly dodging in mid-air. When they finally landed, they didn't appear among the "Extraordinary Puppets".

Some of the corpses they controlled did successfully land in the middle of the "Extraordinary Puppets", but two-thirds of them were shattered during the fall, no longer possessing any combat power.

The remaining one-third were about to seize the machine guns in the hands of the "Extraordinary Puppets", when those "Extraordinary Puppets" who weren't holding machine guns revealed their cold weapons and engaged in melee combat with the living corpses.

The "Puppets" holding "Extraordinary Machine Guns" quickly retreated. Shooting with machine guns at such close range had a higher probability of accidentally injuring their own people than killing the enemy.

The two Sequence 6 "Living Corpses" were about to rush up to help, when Ronzert stepped forward quickly, blocking the attacks of these two Beyonders.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, after Audis obtained the Extraordinary characteristics of the "Punishment Knight", he made a magical item corresponding to the Sequence 5 level for Ronzert.

This allowed his level to return to the true Sequence 5, and at this time, he relatively easily blocked the attacks of these two "Living Corpses".

The power of the weapons in the hands of the "Extraordinary Puppets" surprised the "Wraith" and the woman holding the Grade 1 Sealed Artifact. Just now, they had also realized that these people in military uniforms were actually puppets, but they hadn't expected the combat power of these puppets to be so strong!

The woman was a Sequence 5 "Winner" of the "Monster" pathway, and it was because of some of her own abilities that she could master this Grade 1 Sealed Artifact.

And this Sealed Artifact corresponded to the Sequence 4 "Marionettist" of the "Prisoner" pathway. In theory, she could control those puppets.

It's just that there was still a considerable difference between the Sealed Artifact and the real Sequence 4. This "Winner" could only use the Sealed Artifact to fight Audis at this time, unable to attend to the battlefield over there.

While the living corpses were fighting the "Extraordinary Puppets", Audis immediately waved his staff, and a tornado flew towards the top of the mountain, carrying along the rubble and weeds along the way, following it into the air.

The tornado was very strong, plowing a shallow mark on the rock wall.

The "Winner" immediately turned into a phantom, using the Sealed Artifact to enter the Spirit World.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audis threw an "Aphrodisiac Scroll" at the "Wraith", preparing to use this opportunity to severely injure the "Wraith" first.

As Audis expected, the "Wraith", who had been forced to hide everywhere in the rock wall crevices by the "Staff of Disaster" just now, had his lust in his heart instantly detonated by the "Aphrodisiac Scroll", and pounced towards a rock protruding from the mountain not far from him, hoping to have a relationship beyond friendship with that rock.

In fact, the "Aphrodisiac Scroll" doesn't have such a big impact on Sequence 5s, but the "Hedonist Faction" of the "Rose School" is an exception.

Audis was about to continue his attack when a illusory male figure with a beard suddenly appeared in his pupils.

Audis's eyes widened: Crap, there's another "Wraith"!

This time, the "Rose School" actually dispatched three Sequence 5s, carrying a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact to assassinate!

Fortunately, the "Scale Armor Scroll" could also block some Extraordinary attacks, otherwise Audis would have been completely "possessed" by this "Wraith"!

It was also at this time that the "Tornado" on the top of the mountain disappeared, and the "Winner" holding the Grade 1 Sealed Artifact reappeared, revealing a cold smile as she looked at Audis, who had been initially possessed.

Even if the possession hadn't been completed, Audis was just a lamb to be slaughtered in her eyes at this time.

"Fire!"

Ronzert's icy voice made the "Winner", who was preparing to attack Audis, suddenly tremble.

A "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon" had been assembled and fired a shell at the "Winner".
