Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 1392 Facing It (Seeking Monthly Tickets During Double Points Period)

In the seemingly endless deep blue waves of the raging sea, the "Future" was like a leaf, sometimes tossed high and sometimes slammed down.

In this sea area, there are still some pirate ships sailing, and they have become so accustomed to such situations that they feel it is as natural as the sunrise.

After returning to reality, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya pondered for only a moment before unfolding a sheet of paper and picking up a pen to write a letter.

She wanted to ask the Queen if anything significant had happened recently.

In fact, before Mr. Fool announced that He would enter a deep slumber, Cattleya had already sensed the impending great change.

Whether it was the sudden closure of doors and windows or a meteor shower streaking across the sky and illuminating the world, it inspired her as a "prophet," allowing her to see some blurry images.

Of course, limited by her own level, status, and identity, she did not have enough understanding of what exactly happened and could not grasp what exactly prompted Mr. Fool to choose to slumber. She had no choice but to ask Bernadette, the "Mysterious Queen" who had been promoted to angel early, led a mysterious organization, and controlled many powerful sealed artifacts.

Just as Cattleya summoned the messenger and took the written letter, she suddenly paused.

At this moment, the purple in her eyes became more prominent and intense, flowing slowly like a river.

She sensed that Mr. Fool had fallen into a deep sleep.

An overwhelming sense of bewilderment, confusion, and a touch of sadness welled up in the heart of this "General of the Stars".

For some reason, she felt a strange, indescribable stirring in her heart, and two tears involuntarily slid down her cheeks.

She seemed to understand something, yet she understood nothing at all, only knowing that Mr. Fool's slumber would last for an unknown period of time before he would wake up.

Taking off the heavy glasses perched on her nose, Cattleya wiped her eyes, trying to regain her composure.

She then walked to the window and looked out onto the deck.

Frank Lee was enthusiastically inviting his crew to taste his newly brewed "beer," but not a single pirate dared to try it.

"Fortunately, I sent Sharf to the Queen in advance. Now I only need to keep an eye on Frank... Without Mr. Fool's watchful eye, I must be more cautious and attentive. Hmm, I need to find Frank something to do outside of research. He is the first mate and cannot always neglect his duties..." "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya thought with a slightly solemn expression.

Having figured out how to keep an eye on Frank and how to reassign the small number of pirates belonging to the "Earth" and "Moon" pathways to other ships, and after reducing her contact with Frank, Cattleya shifted her focus to the matter of the "Hidden Sage".

Although she was one of the ten pillars of the Morse Order, she was not trusted by the chairman and other high-ranking members because of her background and the fact that she was less influenced by the "Hidden Sage". She was an outsider who was on the fringes of the organization, with her own circle and corresponding power.

In a sense, her relationship with the Morse Order was more like that of collaborators. On one hand, she needed a force and a powerful figure to carry out her will across the five seas, and on the other hand, she longed to obtain the corresponding knowledge and materials.

To obtain information about the sudden resurrection of the symbolic deity "Hidden Sage" and confirm His current state, one must become a core member of the Morse Order.

"Given my current status, participating in the decision-making of the Mos Ascetic Order's internal affairs is perfectly acceptable. Only through genuine involvement can I gain access to more information and elevate my own standing... However, this is quite dangerous. Even if the 'Hidden Sage' isn't in a good state and doesn't interfere much with the specific operations of the Mos Ascetic Order, other high-ranking members will still retaliate to some extent due to the infringement of their power and the lingering suspicions... There are at least two of the Ten Pillars that I can't see through, which instinctively makes me feel threatened..."

"And confirming the current state of the 'Hidden Sage' would be even more dangerous. If anything goes wrong, we will be immediately corrupted and polluted by Him..." The more "Star Admiral" Cattleya thought about it, the more difficult the task given by Mr. "Fool" seemed.

She had always remained on the fringes of the Morse Order, operating as a pirate. In fact, she had this concern: she was afraid that if she got too deeply involved in the organization's internal affairs, it would expose the fact that she was still in contact with the "Mysterious Queen," and she was afraid that one day the other ten pillars would all identify her as a spy and eliminate her on the spot.

At this moment, Cattleya even considered giving up Mr. Fool's mission and her identity as one of the Ten Pillars of the Morse Order, returning to the Dawn and to the Queen's side.

That way, she wouldn't need to worry about that anymore—whatever the problem, the Queen could handle it.

Since leaving the "Dawn" and having to shoulder everything herself, "Star Admiral" Cattleya has always felt weary, with a heavy burden on her shoulders.

However, this idea was quickly abandoned by Cattleya after only a brief moment.

She sighed softly, realizing that she could never go back to the carefree days of her little girl days.

She now shoulders not only her own life, but also the fate of Frank, Heath, Nina, and other crew members.

Moreover, she foresaw the coming of the apocalypse and hoped that when that time came, she could become the Queen's most powerful helper and do something for the world together with her.

Cattleya then closed her eyes and whispered to herself:

"Then let's face it."

Go and truly immerse yourself in the Morse Retreat and gather relevant information.

After making this decision, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya no longer concealed her strength, raised her hands, and used a fairy tale magic.

To the crew of the pirate ships sailing around, the "Future" and its affiliated vessels simultaneously became illusory, turning into countless bubbles.

These bubbles reflected dreamy colors under the light.

Then, they gradually dissolved into the seawater.

The "Future" and its accompanying fleet simply vanished from everyone's sight.

Many knowledgeable pirates were initially shocked and astonished, but then a thought simultaneously occurred to them:

"A new king has been born on the high seas."

"Queen of Stars!"

…………

Inside a house in Backlund.

Hugh, back in the real world, hadn't even had time to process his thoughts when he saw Fors's figure rapidly appearing ahead, shouting:

"Your mission is too dangerous!"

Hugh paused for a moment, then instinctively pointed out the other person's problem:

"You didn't knock."

This is the worst thing about living with a demigod who is an "apprentice".

Fors paused for a second to reflect on his actions, then said with righteous indignation:

"You didn't close the door."

She pointed to the half-open bedroom door.

I hadn't even closed the door. Well, this was a last-minute gathering, and there was absolutely no preparation beforehand... Xiu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, neither of them breaking the silence.

Finally, Fors decided to forget the accusations and refocus on the task at hand:

"Tasks involving sequence 1 and uniqueness are really too dangerous."

After saying this, remembering that Hugh had already accepted Mr. Fool's gift, her eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but mutter a few words:

"Remember to ask me for help. At least, at least I can help you escape."

For them, there were very few things they had experienced that involved the Sequence 1 level, except for those related to Mr. Fool, the World, and Gehrman Sparrow, and perhaps they had been watched by some unnamed being.

At most, they would do some very minor work on the fringes of the relevant events, and never directly confront an enemy who could be called "He".

Therefore, the thought that her friend's mission involved Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics, even uniqueness and a true god, made Fors uncontrollably nervous and worried.

Xiu laughed and said:

"It's just about finding clues and investigating the truth, without having to confront them directly."

She paused for a second and then said:

"The end of the world is approaching, so we have to do something."

"Look, even Mr. Fool has fallen into a deep sleep, let alone insignificant people like us? If we can't become demigods as soon as possible, we might not even be able to do anything. Now, now there is at least some hope, at least we can try to awaken Mr. Fool."

Fors has been through a lot and has long understood this principle. What happened just now was purely an emotional outburst, and he has now calmed down.

She thought for a moment and said:

"What are you going to do next?"

"It would be very difficult to investigate on my own; I would definitely need to rely on MI9's intelligence network. I plan to find a suitable opportunity to let them know that I have become a Sequence 4 demigod. In order to avoid suspicion, this may require Miss 'Justice' to give some hints and make some arrangements," Hugh replied seriously.

Fors' thoughts raced through his mind:

"I'll write you a script, uh, I'll play the villain, simulating a madman trying to advance to Sequence 4 'Law Mage,' and then you defeat him..."

As she spoke, a story took shape, and she immediately sat down at Hugh's table, took out paper and pen, and began to write.

"Once the story is finished, I'll have Miss 'Justice' make some revisions to make it seem plausible enough," Fors said as he wrote.

As a "mystic", she was undoubtedly able to keep their conversation from being leaked.

After thinking for a moment, Xiu said:

"Isn't your most important task right now writing biographies and stories?"

"Ha, that's easy. I've already thought of too many plots in my mind, and I have a lot of material. No, not really..." Fors muttered a couple of times before focusing all his attention on writing a script for Hugh and getting MI9's approval.

Seeing his friend focused on his own thing, a smile gradually appeared on Hugh's face.

She immediately turned her gaze to the half-open room and heard her brother, Lo Deercha, seemingly reciting words in Old Fursac, a prerequisite for studying law and becoming a lawyer.

Their mother was instructing two servants to remember to clean the living room.

Those sounds reached Hugh's ears, gradually hardening her expression.

Although the outcome of facing the higher-ups of MI9 is ​​unknown, the dangers of completing Mr. Fool's mission are unknown, and the end of the world is also unknown, one must know that if one does nothing, does not take on a certain degree of risk, and simply enjoys the happiness of family life, then one will ultimately be like most unprepared people facing a flood, struggling for a while before being completely submerged.

But now, at least there is still a thorny road, and at least a glimmer of light shines on it.

That requires the awareness to make sacrifices and the courage to seize the opportunity.

P.S.: I recommend a book, "My Cultivation Has a Cheat Code." It's a world where ancient immortals and gods have passed away, and evil spirits and demons are secretly thriving.

Martial arts flourish here, and even those who reach the ninth rank can become immortals or gods.

Zhou Heng transmigrated to this place and became an apprentice at an ordinary martial arts school, struggling to make a living while diligently practicing martial arts. One day, he suddenly gained a cheat code: after improving his martial arts proficiency, he could open lucky bags!
