Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

During the Tarot Gathering, everyone was discussing Audis's important research: using "Garf runes" to "express" extraordinary abilities.

This gave the other members a huge shock, because before this, they all felt that extraordinary abilities of different pathways were the result of extraordinary individuals utilizing extraordinary characteristics of different pathways.

This process was more like a "black box operation," where after each person became an extraordinary individual, they would naturally understand how to use the abilities of extraordinary characteristics.

But "The Hermit" suddenly said today that "Garf runes" could be used for certain calculations and arrangements, and ultimately "express" an extraordinary ability.

Even "The Priestess" Cattleya was lost in thought, because in the "Scroll Professor" sequence, the scrolls were written with mystical symbols, and that process was very similar to using mystical symbols to "represent" an ability.

Audis continued: "It's not enough to just know how to use 'mystical symbols' to 'express' different extraordinary abilities. You also need the help of extraordinary characteristics to release this ability.

"Taking my research on 'Record Keeper' as an example, the 'mystical symbols' arranged in a certain order actually play a guiding role, and the extraordinary characteristics still have to 'implement' it.

"It's as if those 'mystical symbols' are providing a manual for the extraordinary characteristics. The extraordinary characteristics can release the pre-recorded ability according to this 'instruction'.

"This has certain requirements for extraordinary characteristics. Ordinary extraordinary characteristics cannot do this."

At this time, only "The Fool" Klein, "The Priestess" Cattleya, and "The Hanged Man" Alger could keep up with Audis's thinking.

The other members were all trying hard to understand and keep up with "The Hermit's" description.

Audis continued to explain: "Let me use another way to explain it. Sequence 7 of the 'Seer' pathway is called 'Wizard', who can use a variety of 'witchcraft'.

"During the 'Wizard' stage, I invented more than eighty kinds of 'witchcraft'…"

Cattleya unconsciously revealed a surprised expression, because during her "Wizard" stage, she only knew 26 kinds of "witchcraft", which was already a very talented extraordinary individual among "Wizards".

"…The process of casting 'witchcraft' is to use spiritual materials and incantations as guidance to allow extraordinary characteristics to burst out corresponding abilities, forming the effect of 'witchcraft'." Audis continued:

"In this process, incantations and spiritual materials are the 'manual'.

"And 'Wizards' can not only use flames, but also use solid ice, use water, and fly. This is a diversified display of extraordinary characteristics.

"The 'Apprentice's' 'Recorder' characteristic and the 'Reader's' 'Scholar' characteristic both have similar characteristics."

"Justice" Audrey and other members nodded one after another, understanding what he meant.

Audis didn't continue, but gave everyone a few more seconds.

"The Moon" Emlyn asked after understanding: "What is the connection with 'Miracle Medicines'…"

He paused for a moment and then said: "I understand. You used 'mystical symbols' to simulate the 'processing' process of 'Apothecaries' on herbs. In this case, as long as there is enough spirituality, you can continuously produce 'Miracle Medicines'!"

Audis smiled and nodded: "That's right, but this process also requires the help of an 'Apothecary' extraordinary characteristic."

Alger sighed: This is also very cost-effective! Such a characteristic costs at most 300 pounds, but the value it can create is simply immeasurable!

This made Emlyn couldn't help but sigh: "'Apothecaries' are going to lose their jobs."

He himself was not too worried, because he was no longer making money from the ability of "Apothecary".

"There is still a difference from a real 'Apothecary'." Audis said: "I can only sell some widely applicable medicines in batches, and sell them after they are produced, unlike 'Apothecaries' who are so flexible."

The medicines sold in the "Miracle Medicine" store now are all medicines for treating common diseases in the Five Seas and the North and South Continents. Most other medicines still require "Apothecaries" to diagnose and further prescribe prescriptions.

Medicines for treating such diseases may not sell a single dose for a long time, so it is better to simply leave a way out for the "Apothecaries".

At this time, Cattleya asked again: "How did you solve the problem of spirituality?"

It is impossible for extraordinary individuals to continuously transmit spirituality to that "Apothecary" characteristic, right? That's no different from a normal "Apothecary".

Audis said: "I discovered a way to change the transmission path of spirituality a long time ago. The magic circle can continuously supply spirituality."

However, this magic circle requires a large area.

Cattleya was slightly stunned before saying: "I now understand why you must cooperate with the Church of Knowledge."

The other members also understood the meaning of "The Hermit's" actions after being reminded, because the applications made using his research could bring disruptive changes to this world.

Such huge benefits will definitely be targeted by many extraordinary organizations. Cooperating with a righteous god church is indeed the best way.

During a previous conversation, "The Hanged Man" Alger also talked about this matter. At that time, although Audis did not say it clearly, he was already preparing for cooperation with the Church of Knowledge.

"The Magician" Fors suddenly thought of several science fiction novels she had read recently: At that time, she felt that the settings of those science fiction novels were quite magical, but if you think about it carefully, those settings can be easily completed with extraordinary powers.

It's just that Fors had never had this idea before, and always felt that scientific products and extraordinary powers were two different things.

The grand hall was quiet for a while, and Audis said to Cattleya again: "I just forgot one thing, I hope to trade with you for the location of those elven islands."

During a previous Tarot Gathering, Cattleya mentioned that in the depths of the Forsaken Sea, some relatively less dangerous sea areas still live some elven remnants.

At that time, Audis could hear that Cattleya had the exact location of those elves.

Cattleya was stunned: "What do you want the location of those islands for?"

"An elf wants to 'visit relatives'." Audis said with a smile, but did not explain in detail.

No detailed explanation was needed. Cattleya immediately recalled the ancient elf who appeared in yesterday's battle: "I know that there are still elves on two islands in the dangerous waters of the Forsaken Sea."

"What reward do you need?"

"Your description of your research just now will be considered the payment." Cattleya said.

Audis did not refuse: "Okay."

After obtaining "The Fool's" consent, Cattleya "materialized" the coordinates of the two islands and passed them to Audis.

Afterwards, "Justice" Audrey asked about the details of Audis being the governor. These were not things that needed to be kept secret, so Audis briefly explained them.

When everyone heard that Audis had gathered the leaders of the bandits and the nobles together and killed them all, they were all stunned: Does being a governor now require so much violence?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Audis explained the current situation in Wotai Province, and everyone understood that the behavior of those two nobles was actually similar to that of the bandit leaders.

Later, everyone was very interested in the process of suppressing bandits.

Klein and Alger, who had seen the "portable spiritual wave cannon", could now imagine the despair of those bandits when facing the explosion of the "spiritual wave cannon".

The members who had not seen the power of the "spiritual wave cannon" felt that those bandits seemed too weak. They were just bombed a few times from a distance, and they all surrendered.

After chatting about a few more topics about Lenburg, Klein announced the end of the Tarot Gathering.

…

Audis returned to the real world, spaced out as usual, and then got up to set up an altar on his desk, and took out the extraordinary weapons he had prepared in advance from the "Knowledge Wilderness".

A few minutes later, Audis received a notification from "The Fool", first performed a sacrifice ritual, and sacrificed the extraordinary weapons tied together to "The Fool".

Then he prepared an bestowal ritual and received 2,700 pounds in cash and a large number of extraordinary materials.

He would ask the messenger to send some of these extraordinary materials to Hugh and Ellen later to sell on their behalf.

He would also sell some of them in the "Scroll Shop" to open up a "sales channel".

…

After Cattleya returned to the real world, she first looked around, then immediately got up, dressed up a little, and went straight to the trading area.

The mystical item she saw yesterday that was comparable to Sequence 9 "The Thief" was still there. After decisively buying it, she slowly came to the "Scroll Shop".

At this time, the "Scroll Shop" was open for business and a long line had already formed.

However, "Pirate Generals" and "Great Pirates" could use their status as standing committee members and members of the Pirate Alliance to enter without queuing.

Just as Cattleya was about to enter, she sensed something was wrong.

Cattleya immediately took off her glasses and looked at the door with "Eyes of Mystery". She found that there was actually a space tunnel there, but it was done very secretly and no one noticed.

Or rather, only those at Sequence 5 level might be able to notice.

After confirming there was no danger, Cattleya stepped through the doorway.

Once inside, she was even more certain that she had passed through a short spatial tunnel to enter the real "Scroll Shop."

This made Cattleya sigh with emotion: "The Hermit" is very careful!

Even if the "Scroll Shop" was attacked, as long as the connection was severed, the safety of the "Scroll Shop" could be ensured.

Moreover, in this way, no one would know the location of the Scroll Shop.

Only then did Cattleya begin to examine the goods in the "Scroll Shop." First, she saw piles of scrolls, which were placed on small wooden platforms, with the effects and prices of the scrolls on that platform written on one side.

Some of the scrolls were almost sold out.

For example, "Flight Scroll," "Invisibility Scroll," and "Explosion Scroll" were all very popular, and there were very few left on the corresponding wooden platforms.

At this time, Cattleya saw the "Disease Middle General," whose every movement exuded beauty, taking several scrolls from here and several scrolls from there, like shopping in a mall, already filling a basket.

That basket was a shopping basket distributed by the waiter at the entrance, and Cattleya also had one in her hand.

The other pirates who entered here were also taking as much as they could within their economic means, after all, the "Scroll Professor's" products were very scarce in the extraordinary world.

Although this kind of thing can only be used once, it has the advantage of having no negative effects and can catch opponents off guard.

However, the "Scroll Professor" rarely sells scrolls, because the materials for the scrolls have to go through complicated processes to be processed, and the overall cost is very high, and it takes a lot of time.

Odis can mass-produce them mainly because he has mastered the "technology" of using good parchment to make various scrolls.

This "technology" was obtained by Odis from the "Knowledge Wilderness." Currently, this key "technology" has not been made public. He only wrote it in his book "Scrolls: From Introduction to Mastery."

Another reason for mass production is the two "intelligent puppets" that Odis obtained in the "Knowledge Wilderness" after he advanced to "Astrologer."

Odis only needs to provide good parchment and spiritual materials, without consuming his time and spirituality.

Cattleya didn't really need scrolls, but she still took a few, planning to study them when she went back.

Continuing to walk inside, she saw many extraordinary materials of the "Low Sequence" level, and it was clear that "The Hermit" had traded them from "Little Sun."

At the Tarot Gathering, a Sequence 9 level material from "The Sun" cost 70 pounds, and "The Hermit" sold it for 150 pounds.

Moreover, that was still to replace the payment for "Extraordinary Weapons." Cattleya estimated that although an "Extraordinary Weapon" was priced at 50 pounds, the cost was at most 20 pounds.

Profits could be made from both directions.

Continuing to walk inside, Cattleya saw that some mystical items were placed on the wooden platform. She was stunned for a moment and quickly approached to observe.

These mystical items were really sold like goods in a department store, with the specific effects and negative effects written in front of the wooden shelves. Roughly looking, there were twenty or thirty pieces!

For a moment, Cattleya suspected: Could it be that "The Hermit" can even mass-produce mystical items?

Before, when she heard "The Hermit" say that the "Scroll Shop" would sell mystical items, she thought that "The Hermit" was planning to sell a few unusable spoils with greater negative effects, but there were so many, and the negative effects were all within an acceptable range.

Cattleya looked at the mystical items display for a while and probably understood what was going on.

Most of these mystical items are benchmarked against Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 of the "Prisoner" pathway, and only three are benchmarked against Sequence 7 "Werewolf."

This reminded Cattleya that "The Hermit" had severely damaged the "Rose School" in Bayam more than a month ago and should have seized many characteristics of the "Prisoner" pathway in that battle.

She recalled that the three sets of "Dawn Sword" seemed to be a "Craftsman," and perhaps there were more "Craftsmen" among the believers of "Lord of Mysteries."

These mystical items should be the practice works of the "Craftsmen"!

Cattleya's guess was basically correct. Indeed, Odis had seized too many extraordinary characteristics of the "Prisoner" pathway and was not very willing to use these characteristics to cultivate extraordinary people.

Because the "Knowledge Wilderness" has the ability to crush extraordinary characteristics, at that time, there were as many as seventy or eighty "Low Sequence" extraordinary characteristics, so he planned to make them into mystical items.

Cattleya looked down on this level of mystical items, but she still bought a few to reward her subordinates in the future.

The price was very fair. Mystical items benchmarking Sequence 9 cost 350 pounds, mystical items benchmarking Sequence 8 sold for 800 pounds, and mystical items benchmarking Sequence 7 cost 1800 pounds.

This is the lower level of the market price of mystical items.

However, this is much better than directly selling extraordinary characteristics, because the demand for extraordinary characteristics of the "Prisoner" pathway is very small. The characteristics of Sequence 9 level may only be able to sell for about 260 pounds, and there are very few buyers.

But after they are made into mystical items, Cattleya can be sure that they will be sold out before evening.

For ordinary pirates, mystical items are very precious things, after all, the probability of relying on "natural formation" is very low, even "Low Sequence" level mystical items they will scramble for.

At this time, there was a quarrel from the entrance.

The latest and most complete novels are on Liǔ 9 Shūbā. First release!

Cattleya glanced over there. A pirate was about to go out when he was stopped by a waiter, saying that he had not settled the bill for some goods.

The pirate did not admit it and raised his hand to let the waiter search him, but if he could not find it, he would want compensation.

So the waiter explained: "Sir, each of our goods is attached with a special spirituality. That spirituality can only be erased by this device at the front desk when paying, otherwise, we can find the lost goods at any time."

Cattleya and several big pirates who were shopping were stunned for a moment, not expecting such an operation.

The pirate who was about to go out was also stunned for a moment, probably recalling the situation of "Dawn Sword" catching the street lamp thief before, and took out two scrolls from his seemingly ordinary pocket.

Cattleya pondered for a while and felt that this operation was not difficult. "Astrologers" can relatively easily retain a trace of spirituality on an item for a period of time.

But the problem is that the waiter who collects the money is obviously an ordinary person, how does he eliminate that trace of spirituality?

Cattleya carefully observed the device. It was as big as a small oven, with two crystals on the top, and a lever on the left. The door of the device opened at the front.

After the waiter put the two scrolls into the device, he pulled the lever. After one of the crystals lit up, he opened the device and handed the scrolls, which had been erased with the spirituality used for anti-theft, to the pirate who had already paid.

Cattleya probably understood: This should be another application of the magic circle. The two crystals are equivalent to indicator lights. One lighting up means that the trace of spirituality has been successfully removed, and the other lighting up means an abnormality.

She realized: These magic circles can save a lot of extraordinary manpower.

Otherwise, at least one or two extraordinary people would have to be occupied here.

After wandering around the "Scroll Shop," Cattleya sighed: The goods here can provide "The Hermit" with at least tens of thousands of pounds of income. After a pirate gathering, this guy should be able to earn hundreds of thousands of pounds.

This is still the income during the pirate gathering. In the next month or two, everything on this island will definitely spread rapidly among the pirates, which will create a very stable income for this island.

Cattleya thought to herself: From now on, "The Hermit" will be the "money bag" of their organization.

… …

Odis watched as Kana directed two "Extraordinary Puppets" to put a cart of gold pounds into a huge safe.

At this moment, Odis felt very satisfied in his heart. He did not expect that one day his money would have to be pushed in with a wheelbarrow.

However, these gold pounds cannot just be left here, they must be used for investment as soon as possible, and the money must be spent.

In addition to being used to repair railways, Odis also plans to use it to improve the business environment in Westate, build water conservancy projects, and so on.

Just as he was thinking about this, the waiter came to report that "Disease Middle General" was requesting an audience.

Odis "ummed" and withdrew his gaze from the gold pounds and returned to his office.

Soon, the waiter brought "Disease Middle General" in.

"Disease Middle General" Tracey, who had a graceful figure and sharp, bright eyes, smiled and said: "This 'Pirate Gathering' was really wonderful. No gathering has ever been as successful as this."

Odis made a gesture of invitation to sit in the sofa area: "I am relieved to have your approval."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, "Disease Middle General" got to the point: "I want to buy a batch of 'Spirit Storage Crystals.'"

Currently, Odis uses "Spirit Storage Crystals" in various extraordinary weapons and extraordinary tools, but for ordinary extraordinary people, the biggest function of "Spirit Storage Crystals" is to store spirituality in advance and use it at critical moments.

Especially at the Sequence 7 level, most pathways at Sequence 7 will have some extraordinary abilities with the characteristics of each pathway, but the spirituality at this level is limited, and many abilities cannot be used many times because of the exhaustion of spirituality.

At this time, if there is a "Spirit Storage Crystal," you can use the spirituality stored in advance to release a few more abilities.

Enemies that could not be defeated originally can be defeated in this way.

They could not escape originally, but now they can escape.

Therefore, "Spirit Storage Crystals" have a significant role in the Extraordinary world.

Audrey asked, "When you say 'a batch,' how many specifically are you referring to?"

Tracey said, "100 pieces! And more will be needed later."

That's another big deal worth 30,000 pounds.

However, Audrey smiled and shook his head: "Everyone who sees me wants a batch of 'Spirit Storage Crystals.' I can only give you 20 pieces. The remaining 80 pieces will be given to you in full in a month."

This isn't Audrey's way of creating artificial scarcity; it's just that the stock from the previous months has been sold out, and there's no way to expand production capacity in the short term.

Audrey even considered whether or not to dismantle the streetlights first and sell the 'Spirit Storage Crystals' inside.

"Lieutenant General of Disease" didn't express dissatisfaction, nor did she bargain: "Alright, I'll pay you for these 20 pieces later."

Then she asked, "I heard that you fought with people from the 'Rose School' in Bayam before?"

The battle when covering Klein's retreat from Bayam caused a great commotion, and many Extraordinary people saw the crew of the 'Sword of Dawn.'

"Yes," Audrey said. "We don't quite agree with many of the 'Rose School's' ideas."

He was being too polite. In reality, it had reached the point where they would kill any member of the 'Rose School's' Intemperance faction upon sight.

"We can provide necessary assistance," Tracey said with a smile. "Coincidentally, we've discovered several strongholds of the 'Rose School.' I wonder if you're interested?"

Audrey looked at the beautiful face before him, knowing that they were finally getting to the point: "Tell me your conditions."

He didn't have any good feelings towards the "Witch Sect" either, but it hadn't reached the "kill on sight" level of the "Rose School."

If he could use the "Witch Sect" to weaken the "Rose School," that would be ideal.

Tracey maintained her smile and said, "The specific conditions cannot be disclosed to you at this time, but it will definitely not be a loss for you, and if you operate properly, others won't discover our cooperation."

Audrey shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, your conditions are too vague. I can't agree to whether or not to cooperate.

"Well, if you think it's too early to tell me now, you can first establish an intention to trade, and then officially start trading when you think the time is right."

He knew very well that any transaction from the "Witch Sect" would not be a good thing, but he intended to establish an intention to trade first, and then find out the content of the transaction later.

If it involved doing something harmful or immoral, he would immediately report it to the Church.

Audrey was not afraid of offending the "Witch Sect" at all, or rather, after obtaining the "Hermit" card and with the further strengthening of the "Lord of the Mysteries'" abilities, he was not afraid of ordinary Extraordinary organizations.

You must know that the "Lord of the Mysteries" has already killed three demigods, and a few more would just be sending over spoils of war.

Tracey said, "I didn't expect that we could reach an intention to trade so quickly."

"Whether or not we can cooperate depends on what exactly you want me to do," Audrey said with a smile. "If it violates my principles, I won't continue the transaction."

"Of course," Tracey said, but in her heart, she thought: After learning the content of the transaction, even if you don't want to continue the transaction, we will make you complete it.

Then, as she unbuttoned her clothes, she said, "As a reward for reaching an intention to trade, I'll let you experience true pleasure."

"Wait a minute." Although Audrey clearly refused, his eyes never left Tracey's increasingly exposed tender skin.

Tracey smiled somewhat domineeringly: "How is it? My figure is better than all of your women, right?"

Audrey swallowed. Tracey's figure wasn't the kind of extreme fullness, but just the right amount of fullness.

Tracey looked at Audrey with a smile: "Aren't you going to hurry up and carry me to your lounge?"

Audrey clenched his fists, desperately suppressing the desire to get up. He wanted to turn his head away, but found that he couldn't do it at all. He really wanted to admire Tracey's graceful figure again.

He knew that this wouldn't do. He would gradually sink into Tracey's "Bewitchment," and eventually his psychological defenses would collapse, leading to complete surrender.

Just as Audrey was preparing to pretend to pray and enter the "Knowledge Moor" to calm down, he suddenly thought of a way. An "Invisibility Scroll" suddenly flew out of the leather bag on his desk and exploded next to Tracey.

This took Tracey by surprise. She couldn't dodge it, and her graceful figure disappeared in front of Audrey.

Audrey breathed a long sigh of relief. The ability just now was his application of combining "Sorcery" and "Scrolls."

This was an ability he had thought of a long time ago after inventing "Flying Sorcery."

As long as it was a "Scroll" he had written, he could use "Flying Sorcery" to make the scroll float to the designated location and then detonate it.

It was just that Audrey had never encountered such a serious "mental attack" before, and this was the first time he had used this ability.

Then Audrey felt that if it weren't for the education he received when he was young, which leaned towards conservatism on matters of relationships, he might have compromised just now.

Then he felt a little emotional: How did Klein manage to remain calm when facing a witch back then?

But then Audrey immediately thought: That's not right. No witch took off all her clothes in front of Klein, so he resisted.

If Tracey hadn't taken off all her clothes so quickly, Audrey would have been confident that he could withstand her "Bewitchment."

Tracey also noticed that she seemed to be passively "invisible."

She glanced at Audrey in surprise, because that scroll was very unexpected. If it was an "Explosion Scroll" or some other scroll, it would have been difficult for her to dodge.

Audrey said coldly, "Put your clothes on. I don't like being so passive."

Seeing that Audrey didn't continue to use his ability, she smiled charmingly: "I understand."

While putting on her clothes, she said, "Remember our conversation. When the time is right, I will come to find you."

Audrey "hmm"ed, indicating the end of the conversation.

After Tracey put on her clothes, the effect of the "Invisibility Scroll" hadn't ended. Of course, Audrey wouldn't tell her that the invisibility effect would end as long as she casually used an Extraordinary ability.

Just as Audrey was preparing to issue another eviction order, Tracey said again, "Please tell 'Mysterious Queen' that we still hope to cooperate with her, and we have already prepared the reward for her."

Her tone then became serious and said, "We have discovered something in the underground of Trier that she will definitely be interested in."

Audrey was stunned for a moment after hearing "Lieutenant General of Disease" Tracey's words before asking, "Are you trying to cooperate with me? Or are you trying to cooperate with 'Mysterious Queen'?"

In fact, the task Tracey received was to seek cooperation with the "Mysterious Queen" through "Admiral of Mystery," so they carefully prepared trading conditions for the "Queen."

But after arriving on Cruise Island and witnessing the "Lord of the Mysteries" take action, Tracey realized that the information obtained by the "Witch Sect" was wrong, so she had to temporarily change her plan.
