Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 188: Stop the lingering whispers

The monsters around the altar were once three important members of the "Moss Ascetic Order". After the ceremony began, they would recite the summoning spell continuously. This spell was very long and it took three days and three nights to finish.

When the spell was finished, the real world and the starry sky were temporarily connected, and the evil god could descend upon Backlund.

At the same time, these three people must always maintain the illusion in the Quaternary ruins. The trap that can even deceive demigods and hold back four demigods requires these three people to pay a huge price.

Before they knew it, they had transformed into monsters with unkempt hair.

All these monsters had layers of wrinkles on their skin, like overweight people who had layers of fat squeezed out by ropes.

Their skin was blue and dry, leaving only a human shape, and other than that, there were not many human features.

Only their eyes still flashed with wisdom and madness.

They were chanting the mantra with great concentration, as if this was the only thing left in the world and no one could disturb them.

Bernadette noticed that this magic circle had very strong protection and it was difficult to interrupt the ceremony from the outside.

She thought about it for a moment, and suddenly an illusory frog with a fat head "reappeared" behind her.

Guagua~
The frog croaked twice, and one of the three monsters circling the altar suddenly became shorter and fatter, and turned into a frog.

But the monster that turned into a frog was still jumping around the altar and chanting spells.

Bernadette frowned. This was the protection given by the ritual array. No matter what they became, even if they died around the altar, their bodies or souls would probably continue to chant the spell.

The illusory frog behind her disappeared, and she took out an exquisite wooden box, broke the seal of the box, and took out a gem-inlaid ornament from it.

In the middle of the ornament is a vertical eye inlaid with diamonds. This eye emits pure light, giving people a very sacred and wise feeling.

Bernadette put it on her forehead, which made her feel a little unreal. For a moment, her skin turned into a stream of information composed of numbers, symbols, and graphics, but immediately returned to its original appearance.

This is a Level 0 Sealed Artifact held by Bernadette, corresponding to Sequence 2 "Sage" of the "Mystery Peeper" pathway, hence its name, "Sage's Forehead Ornament."

After putting on the "Sage's Forehead Ornament", Bernadette raised her hand slightly, and the mystical symbols on the altar suddenly floated up, as if they were mosquitoes that had landed on the altar and were now suddenly being driven away.

Bernadette crumpled the symbols into a ball and threw it in the corner.

This action caused the altar to shake noticeably, and the symbol representing the Adventer in the center of the altar suddenly lit up.

The symbol is very complex and consists of three parts. The middle part is an indicator symbol representing knowledge, surrounded by symbols representing mouth, ears, eyes, spirit, etc., and on the outside are dotted lines arranged radially.

This symbol probably means that knowledge is spread through mouth, ears, eyes, and spirit.

When this symbol lit up, new mystical symbols appeared on the altar, which was devoid of any other mystical symbols, like weeds growing out of nowhere.

The altar became stable again.

Bernadette was about to try to transform the altar and the three monsters into streams of information when she suddenly heard Odysseus say, "You can try changing the positions of a few mystical symbols."

Bernadette was stunned for a moment, then asked Odysseus: "How do I change it?"

Odysseus looked at the altar carefully, then took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote: "Change it like this."

Bernadette changed the positions of the six mystical symbols on the altar according to the plan provided by Odysseus.

The altar began to shake rapidly and became unstable.

At this time, the symbol in the center of the altar lit up again, wanting to put the six symbols back to their original positions.

Bernadette immediately fought against the power of the altar. At this time, the power of the altar was very limited, and in the end, the six symbols did not return to their original positions.

As the altar kept shaking, Bernadette realized that the power protecting the altar had disappeared!

Of course, she would not miss this opportunity. Bernadette "recreated" a Little Red Riding Hood. When the red hat flew into the air, it split into four parts and landed on the symbol in the center of the altar and on the heads of the three monsters.

The eyes of the three monsters immediately became innocent, and they would even believe it if a big bad wolf said she was their grandmother.

Then the "Sage's Forehead Ornament" worn by Bernadette emitted a soft light again, and the altar and the three monsters immediately turned into information streams. These four information streams flew out from the magic circle and landed on the corner of the street, turning into a constantly surging information sphere.

At this time, only that complex symbol remained in the magic circle.

Odysseus shouted, "Try harder! All the resistance on the altar has been destroyed! The magic circle now needs more spiritual power!"

With everyone's efforts, the light shield on the top of the building gradually became more solid.

At this time, the information ball piled up by Bernadette on the corner of the street expanded and contracted, and then spread out in all directions.

Bernadette saw the complex symbols in the sealing circle gradually dim, so she "put" the huge information ball back into the circle.

bang~
In the magic circle, the complex symbol that had been wearing a little red hat could no longer hold on and exploded, emitting a yellow light.

At the same time, everyone heard a harsh sound like when a fax was being sent.

However, the pollution in this sound has been blocked by the magic circle, so when everyone heard it, they just felt tinnitus and dizziness, and it soon became fine.

The yellow light from the explosion shone on the huge "information ball" that Bernadette sent in, and it immediately began to shake and become very unstable.

wow~
Those streams of information turned back into physical objects, bricks, bones, and pieces of flesh used to build the altar. They mixed together and fell to the ground.

……

Backlund, more than a hundred meters underground in the dock area.

Horamyk Haydon pulled his left arm and took it off without much effort. The arm immediately straightened and tiny blue crystals appeared.

Horamick dodged the attack of the phantom in front of him, and then swung his arm, which was emitting blue light, at the phantom of Alvis like a hammer.

Suddenly, the shadow disappeared.

At this moment, Horamick thought his attempt had worked.

Alvis's phantom could only hold back the four demigods and it was difficult to cause any substantial damage to them.

So the four demigods kept trying various methods to deal with the enemy in front of them, but nothing worked. The next second, Horamick noticed that the other three phantoms had also disappeared.

"Someone has found the real altar." Horamick said as he installed his arm.

The trap was broken.

……

Backlund, Graystone Street, East District.

As the symbol representing the "eternal whisper" exploded, the "night sky" in the sky instantly disappeared, and the connection between the starry sky and the real world was completely severed.

The light shield formed by the magic circle was getting smaller and smaller. It was about to seal all the pollution, but suddenly the shrinking process of the light shield stopped.

Odysseus and others saw three people crawling out from the pile of debris in the center of the magic circle.

To be precise, there were three spirits. In such a special environment, the three people who had previously turned into monsters quickly turned into evil spirits, and they were evil spirits with extraordinary characteristics.

They stared at everyone around them viciously, not because they blamed Bernadette for killing them, but because they hated those who hindered their plans!

The advent ceremony that had been going on for three days and two nights had failed, even though only the last step was left.

According to that secret existence, once one reaches that step, the descending magic circle will begin to reap the lives around it, forming a protection that even gods cannot easily break through.

At this time, Alvis, one of the three evil spirits, was at the demigod level, and he alone supported the shrinking light shield.

wow~
Suddenly, an old spinning machine appeared in the magic circle. This old spinning machine turned by itself with a "clattering" sound, and its spindle suddenly emitted a wonderful light.

This is the spinning machine that Bernadette "recreated" and once put "Sleeping Beauty" into a deep sleep.

The three evil spirits who were about to launch an attack were attracted by the mysterious light and forgot their purpose.

Alvis raised his hand slightly, and the spindle of the spinning machine seemed to immediately understand his thoughts and appeared in his hand.

The moment the evil spirit touched the spindle, the three evil spirits immediately fell into a deep sleep.

The internal resistance was eliminated, and the magic circle continued to shrink. Soon, with the efforts of the extraordinary people, all the pollution was sealed in a piece of glass on the window.

Odysseus quickly tore a piece of curtain from the first floor, used the curtain to cushion his hands, and carefully removed the glass.

Then he took out the remaining spiritual materials and quickly wrote occult symbols all over the glass. Finally, he covered the glass with curtains and wrote a bunch of symbols on the curtains.

After finishing all this, Odysseus finally breathed a sigh of relief and jumped down from the dilapidated second floor.

Bernadette waved her hand slightly, and the upper floors of the building slowly fell down, forming a complete building again.

She smiled at Odysseus, but the smile disappeared in the next moment.

Originally, Bernadette thought that today's action was an opportunity for her promotion. She was about to thank Odysseus, but the next moment, her spirit realized that she still had not completed the promotion ceremony!

Bernadette's smile suddenly disappeared, she waved at Odysseus with a bad look on her face, and then she became illusory and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Odysseus didn't have time to discuss this with Bernadette. He handed the curtains and glass to Ikanser and said, "The seal here can only last for 12 hours. After 12 hours, there's a high probability that some contamination will leak out, so we need to reseal it in advance."

Ikanser took it solemnly: "Okay."

At this time, the expressions of other official extraordinary people when looking at Odysseus had changed somewhat. This guy's magic circle actually blocked the arrival of the evil god!
Odysseus did not stay here either. He threw a handful of transparent powder towards the building, and the symbols in the core part of the magic circle disappeared instantly.

Then he greeted Ikanser and walked to the side of the street.

The official Beyonder immediately made way for him and watched Odysseus leave with a salute.

Then, Odysseus passed the bewildered policemen and saw the people outside on the street with confused or anxious expressions on their faces.

They were confused because they still didn't know what had just happened or where the danger came from.
They were anxious because their few belongings were in the room and they were afraid that the police would never let them return to their residence.

"Haha" Odysseus suddenly laughed twice as he passed through the crowd: "Hahahaha..."

Then, looking at the puzzled people around him, he laughed and strode away.

Odysseus took a carriage to the market and bought two geese, a bottle of red wine worth 6 pounds, and some fruits and vegetables. Then he returned to the herbalist's shop. It was already dinner time, and the herbalist's shop was almost at its busiest.

After entering the store, Odysseus handed Kena a list: "Go to Viscount Kelton at 117 Queen's Road and purchase extraordinary materials according to this list."

Just in the battle just now, Odysseus showed everyone a powerful magic circle. I believe that "MI9" will soon be able to connect Odysseus with the "leader" who drew the "teleportation magic circle" in the basement.

Even if they didn't prove a connection between the two, they must have considered it a clue and started investigating Odysseus.

Perhaps Odysseus would not be able to appear in Backlund in the short term, so Odysseus decided to purchase a large amount of spiritual materials to prepare for future plans.

After Kena left, Odysseus stood inside the counter and took a look at the shelf of herbs behind him and the counter that looked a bit patinaed.

Just as he was gently stroking the counter, a customer arrived.

Odysseus immediately smiled and said, "What would you like to order? Deep Sleep Flower, okay, please wait a moment..."

"Yes, I've been busy lately and haven't been in the store much...

"Yes, Kena is a good guy. He's now the manager of this herbal medicine store... Hehe, for a manager, for a herbal medicine store, this is a fashionable title...

"Would you like me to crush the Deep Sleep Flower you requested?...Okay, bye."

Then customers began to arrive one after another, and Odysseus took the herbs in an orderly manner and chatted with each customer.

Most of the people who come to the herbal medicine shop are regular customers, and Odysseus knows almost all of them.

Some customers will sit in the store and have a cup of tea and chat with each other. The reception area of the store is prepared for them.

Some people would take the initiative to help when they saw that Kaina's sister was not very skilled in handling herbs.

Odysseus watched all this with a smile on his face.
