Odis's ability to use the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to crush extraordinary traits allowed him to accumulate a large number of extraordinary traits.
For example, Sequence 9 "The Spy" has 6 traits, "The Know-It-All" has 4 traits, "The Arbitrator" has 9 traits, and "The Sailor" has as many as 17 traits.
The characteristics of the "Sailor" path are basically derived from the lucky find at the Temple of the Sea God, and even include two "Wind Favorite" characteristics.
If all these characteristics are utilized, it would be enough to build a large squadron of "punishers".
Especially at sea, this is the most practical way, and it should never be left to waste.
The characteristics of the "arbitrator" approach are the result of long-term accumulation, making it very suitable for administrative management; it would be a waste not to use it.
The pathways of "Secret Seekers" and "General Knowledgeers" can be used for future research and the creation of extraordinary parts, which are also very useful for Odis.
So after Odis opened the school, he established a "mystical training class".
Unlike regular schools, joining this training program requires passing two rounds of screening: a written test and an interview.
Then, after another two weeks of learning occult knowledge, these students will continue to be observed during the learning period.
Only after a final observation will they be given the opportunity to take the potion.
Another possibility is that Mandy and her men, as well as Wells and his men, are loyal enough to Odis to skip the observation phase and directly provide the potion.
After taking the potion, the trainees need to undergo another half month of training to gradually adapt to the changes brought about by the potion before they are assigned tasks.
The jobs they were assigned at this point were among the highest-paying jobs on Cruz Island; they would go directly into the core ranks and earn around £3 a week.
Odis explained to Bernadette, who was observing the "training class," "I, along with two crew members with extensive knowledge of mysticism, will serve as the instructors for this 'training class.'"
"The first batch of trainees has now graduated, but most of them were my former confidants, and they basically already had jobs."
"I also assigned important positions to the remaining ones. I also formed an extraordinary team, but there are only three members now, since extraordinary cases rarely occur on the island these days."
"Once the second batch of trainees graduates, my reserves of extraordinary traits will be almost depleted. At that time, this 'training course' will be suspended for a period of time. When they advance to Sequence 8, I will train them again."
This marked the beginning of Odis's cultivation of extraordinary forces, and those forces cultivated in this way tended to have a high degree of loyalty.
Bernadette remarked, "Your ideas are very comprehensive."
She recalled how, after numerous trials and errors and by drawing on the experiences of other organizations, she finally found a viable path to build her extraordinary power.
Odis smiled slightly, took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and said, "It's still early. I'll take you to see my secret base."
Actually, he no longer needs to look at the pocket watch; his intuition tells him the exact time. However, looking at the pocket watch has become a habit, so he still carries one with him at all times.
Bernadette paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."
So Odis grabbed the "mysterious queen's" arm, and the two of them went to a jungle in the northern part of Moon Bay.
The mud and sand dredged from Moon Bay are all sent here.
The stones that are dug out are sent to quarries to be processed into gravel.
When Bernadette arrived, she was also a little puzzled, not understanding why Odis did not dump the silt into the sea, but instead chose to clear such a large open space to preserve the silt.
Odis led the way, and the two of them bypassed the large mounds of earth with their carriages passing by, and came to a small path behind them.
After walking along the path for a few minutes, we came to a tall boulder.
Odis looked around to make sure no one was there, then activated the "short-range teleportation array" that had concealed his presence.
The so-called "short-range teleportation array" is a magic array designed by Odis that only requires "Ahona Crystal" to teleport within tens of kilometers.
After Odis expanded the "Wilderness of Knowledge," the maximum teleportation distance of this magic circle reached about 100 kilometers, and it could accommodate carriages, although only one carriage could pass at a time.
Through this magic circle, Odis arrived at the secret base built on the seabed.
Upon entering, Bernadette first saw several fully armed extraordinary puppets wielding "extraordinary machine guns".
They lowered their weapons only after verifying that the entrant was Odis.
Odis made this arrangement purely for peace of mind, because these "extraordinary puppets" were only meant to guard against extraordinary beings below Sequence 5. If a Sequence 5 or a demigod were to intrude, they wouldn't be of much use.
In fact, the "short-range teleportation array" leading here is the most important defense system, because the one outside is the secondary array, and Odis often changes the location of the entrance, making it difficult to find the correct entrance.
Even if an intruder finds the magic circle to enter this place, they won't know how to activate it.
Bernadette looked around: "This place is very similar to that special space in the Steiano family ruins."
It's like a space built between the real world and the spirit world. Even the inspiration of extraordinary beings, or even demigods, would find it difficult to discover such a place; it has a strong sense of secrecy.
"They do look very similar." Odis didn't explain in detail, but pointed to a spot not far away and said, "Those are the two workshops that are not suitable for public disclosure at the moment."
When Bernadette entered, she found that only "extraordinary puppets" were working here, and most of the place had been hardened with cement, while the places where magic circles were inscribed were built with steel plates to form permanent magic circles.
However, the space was not dark. There was a large, glowing crystal in mid-air, which made the whole space very bright and even had a dreamlike feel.
In this sizable space, there are two simple buildings without roofs.
Bernadette followed Odis's footsteps and saw in the first workshop that there were mountains of herbs, and several "extraordinary puppets" were around a huge workbench, swiftly and precisely preparing the herbs.
After the herbal medicine was prepared, it was conveyed to a small machine tool by a conveyor belt.
Although the machine tool was not large, the magic array under it occupied half of the workshop.
The prepared herbs paused for two or three seconds on the machine tool before being conveyed to another workbench by the conveyor belt. Two "extraordinary puppets" wrapped the herbs and placed them in a small cart next to them.
Bernadette pointed to the machine tool: "That's..."
"This is a production line for miraculous medicines," Odis smiled. "That machine tool contains an extraordinary property of the 'Pharmacist' pathway. After being 'processed' by this property, these herbs acquire miraculous effects."
"After the 'processed' herbs are loaded onto the wagons, they are covered with tarpaulins and sent out from here."
He paused and then said, "The factory that boils and bottles the medicine is downwind of Pingyuan Town. I forgot to take you there for a visit earlier."
"But there's nothing much to see. It's just a big house with rows of stoves where medicine is boiled and then poured into clean glass bottles."
Bernadette exclaimed, "No wonder you're only selling a 10-pound miracle drug for 15 sols."
Even at this price, you're making a killing, aren't you?
Odis smiled and said, "I made a small profit."
The main reason is that we dare not produce too much, so as not to arouse suspicion from some organizations.
Odis believes that the current sales method, with a daily limit of only 200 doses, has already attracted the attention of some people.
However, this number is still within an acceptable range, since training a dozen or so "pharmacists" can achieve the same output.
However, if a "pharmacist" were to actually "process" these herbs, the price would never be this cheap.
Odis has begun having Mandy open branches of "Garrison's Apothecary" on other major islands of the Rothschild Islands to boost sales and avoid attracting attention from certain organizations.
At the same time, Odis also planned to introduce some new prescriptions to attract people's attention and deliberately spread the news that "Garr's Pharmacy" had hired many real "pharmacists".
If you sell less than 600 doses a day and earn less than £10,000 a month, you won't get much attention.
If given the opportunity, Odis plans to cooperate with the Church of the Goddess of Night to sell the potion in Backlund. For every potion sold, she will donate 1 soule to the church, believing that the church will be happy to protect this business.
However, Odis is currently severely understaffed. He plans to send more locals to school, provide them with sufficient training, and then use them as the core to recruit people from various places to expand the business.
The main reason for this plan is that the personnel trained in this way have a certain degree of loyalty.
Bernadette saw that more than a dozen potions had been "processed" in the blink of an eye: "Just by doing the potion business, you could build ten Cruz Islands."
Then she exclaimed, "Fortunately, you have enough self-control to not be blinded by immediate gains."
Otherwise, some organizations might have already tracked them down by following these drugs.
Odis smiled and said, "Every time I think about this, I feel a pang of regret for my own lack of power."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Let's take a look at the other workshop."
Arriving at another workshop, at the entrance, there was a thick layer of mud and sand, which was the sand dug out from "Moon Bay".
Bernadette saw several large stoves and several large pots.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these stoves are also "extraordinary items." Although they heat the pots until they are red-hot, there is no fire or smoke.
Meanwhile, in the large, red-hot pot, mud and sand from outside the workshop were being stir-fried.
Bernadette was initially puzzled, but then noticed that many crystals had appeared in the mud and sand as the "extraordinary puppet" kept stirring it.
Once there were enough crystals, the "Extraordinary Puppet" was poured into another container, which then began to rotate on its own, sifting out the sediment from the bottom.
Because the mud and sand were dried out after being dry-fried, they were easily sifted out, leaving only the crystals.
After being rinsed and dried, these crystals come to the final step.
The crystal passed under a small machine tool, paused for a few seconds, and then the tiny crystals suddenly came together to form a round crystal the size of an adult's palm, emitting a faint light.
In the end, these crystals were neatly arranged in a corner of the workshop.
These crystals are the "Spirit Storage Crystals" that Odis discovered by chance last year.
When infused with enough spiritual energy, they can emit light for up to a year!
Such a high-tech product has a very low production cost; all it requires is enough sand.
Of course, the most crucial step is to use divine powers on the sand spread on the ground.
This seems simple, but it is actually very difficult to achieve because it requires at least the help of a demigod to achieve mass production.
Odis originally planned to begin initial mass production after becoming a demigod himself, but his previous exploration of the Stiano family ruins yielded him the "Alchemy Glasses".
One of the abilities of this magical item is that it can make all inanimate objects within a three-kilometer radius obey the owner for a certain period of time.
This ability could be used for the "extraordinary processing" of soil, so Odis had a second workshop in the secret base and began small-scale production of "Spirit Storage Crystals".
After Odis explained the general situation of the "Spirit Storage Crystal" to Bernadette, Bernadette suddenly realized: "I was wondering earlier that the workers operating the 'crusher' were all ordinary people, yet they could operate extraordinary tools."
"It turns out that there is a device for storing spiritual energy inside the 'stone crusher'."
Odis smiled and said, "That's right. I made the 'Spirit Storage Crystal' into a cylindrical, detachable structure, which makes it very convenient to replace."
"It takes about six 'Spirit Storage Crystals' for one 'Stone Breaker' to be used continuously."
"The crystal that has been used up by spiritual energy will be recharged in the magic circle and then it can be used again."
Bernadette exclaimed, "To enable ordinary people to use extraordinary tools! This could absolutely spark a global revolution."
"That's right." Odis said with a wry smile, "That's precisely why I've never dared to start mass production."
"I plan to turn these crystals you see now into streetlights in the future, and I will install them in some areas."
Even so, I hesitated for a long time, afraid of being overly scrutinized.
Bernadette smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm really looking forward to the changes you'll bring to this world after you become a demigod and an angel."
She thought for a moment and said, "It's not a problem if it's just installing streetlights."
"They claim it's the result of research on spiritual materials, that it can only emit light, and that it can't be mass-produced."
If the only function is to emit light, most extraordinary individuals will immediately lose interest.
Odis nodded: "That's a good idea."
After visiting the secret base, Odis instructed Bernadette: "You are the second person to know about the existence of this secret base, so don't reveal anything about it."
Bernadette simply hummed in agreement, but she was secretly delighted that Odis would share such a secret with her.
The two returned to Pingyuan Town, and it was lunchtime.
Bernadette saw that Odis supplied soup and bread to the construction site, and that bread was supposedly unlimited.
This is something rarely seen on other construction sites, where employees usually have to find their own way to eat.
In railway or highway construction projects, workers don't get to eat such good bread or have any vegetable soup. They're lucky if they can get a full meal and a drink of water.
Bernadette understood why Odis had bought so much grain—to feed so many mouths.
Odis took Bernadette to a newly built restaurant in town. At noon, almost no one ate there. Even the managers, such as Mandy, ate their regular lunch.
It saves time and is convenient.
After they were seated, Odis told Bernadette, "The food here is alright, it has a Fenneport style."
The cooks here were prisoners of war from Fenneport's large cruisers.
Odis helped order a set meal, and the two chatted while eating.
Bernadette asked, "You said before that you were going to the eastern part of the Sunya Sea?"
Odis picked up a piece of grilled fish: "Yes, there's a 'psychedelic red coral' over there."
He planned to get his hands on this extraordinary material first.
Bernadette smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I just received the news last night that I am also going to the 'Ruins of the Gods' War'."
She came to see Odis today mainly to discuss this matter.
However, to her surprise, the construction of Cruise Island would bring her quite an unexpected turn of events.
Odis was taken aback: This meant boarding the "Admiral of the Stars" ship to make contact with Gehrman Sparrow!
The Argo set sail a few days ago, intending to meet up with Vice Admiral Iceberg today and enter the Ruins of the Gods.
Although the captured large cruiser had been converted into the "Mystery," Odis still preferred to travel on the "Argo" for exploration missions.
Because this ship is small and can move more flexibly.
Odis realized that this operation would most likely result in an encounter with Klein and Cattleya.
He smiled and said, "It's perfect that you can come along on my boat."
"I will probably board your ship, but not right from the start," Bernadette said. "I'm mainly here to confirm a few things."
Odis thought to himself: As expected.
However, he did not continue the topic, but said, "I heard that after entering the 'Ruins of the Gods War', you should lower your head when you encounter a golden Pegasus, and you should detour around any islands that make panting sounds. Most importantly, you should fall asleep quickly when night falls."
Bernadette nodded: "These are indeed some important points to note."
She thought for a moment and then added, "If there is a hurricane, storm, or tsunami, do not let the crew members of the 'Sailor' route go onto the deck."
Odis agreed, though he had never heard of this rule before.
However, considering that the war of gods at that time included not only the "Ancient Sun God" but also the "Wind Angels," perhaps having extraordinary beings from the "Sailor" pathway appear in the storm would trigger some unknown power.
After finishing their business, the two chatted casually.
Bernadette asked, "You asked Edwina to go to the 'Ruins of the Gods' with you,' was it to get closer to her and contact the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?"
Odis picked up the red wine and smiled, "I knew I couldn't hide this from you."
He took a deep breath and said, "As you just saw, my inventions are too easy to cause me some unsolvable problems, so I plan to establish a certain cooperation with the Church of Knowledge."
When Odis was promoted to Sequence 5, he had already briefly discussed this matter with Bernadette.
Bernadette hummed in agreement: "Do you need my help?"
"No need, there's no rush," Odis said with a smile.
After lunch, the two had a cup of coffee, and then Bernadette got up to say goodbye.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
After seeing Bernadette off, Odis found Bazel and Mandy, gave them a few brief instructions, and then used the power of the "Travel Ring" to teleport to the workshop of the "Argo".
Upon boarding the ship, Oddess immediately felt a refreshing coolness.
Among the intelligence gathered by Odis, there are two relatively safe entrances to the "Ruins of the War of Gods," one in the northern part of the Sunia Sea and the other in the south.
The northern entrance is roughly in the eastern part of the Cargas Islands, at a latitude similar to East Chestershire in Looney, where it is still quite cool in April.
The crew that accompanied Odis into the "Ruins of the War of the Gods" included Second Officer Rupert, Third Officer Bevis, Boatswain Salina, and crew member Ino.
Third mate Bivis was definitely going to be taken along; he had said many times that his main purpose for going to sea was to see the eastern part of the Sunya Sea.
The other crew members who did not arrive remained in the Roside Islands, carrying out other tasks assigned by the captain.
...
The "Reece" is a whaling ship returning to the Cargas Islands.
Captain Pedy, who was in the captain's cabin, had just finished a bottle of strong liquor and was about to go to the warehouse to get another one when a crew member shouted "Captain!" as he pushed open the door: "Captain, there are pirates!"
Pedi, with a full beard, tossed an empty bottle to a crew member and said with a grin, "So, besides catching a whale, we can also earn some bounty on this voyage."
"Prepare for battle! You idiots, it's not like this is the first time we've run into pirates!"
"It's 'Mysterious Admiral' Garr!" the crew member shouted!
A little over a month ago, Odis Garr proclaimed himself "Admiral of the Mysteries" and quickly gained the recognition of the pirates with his achievements of wiping out two large pirate crews, almost completely eliminating the "Skull" pirate crew, and defeating a fleet of the Fennepot.
Thus, eight "pirate generals" appeared simultaneously across the five seas.
Although the Gargas Islands were not a colony of Loen, the captains and crew there had already heard the story of "Captain Gargas" and knew that another "pirate admiral" had appeared on the high seas.
Pedi was so frightened that half of the wine he had just drunk disappeared. He immediately ran to the wheelhouse, snatched the binoculars from a crew member, and exclaimed, "By God of War, that really is the banner of eyes and swords!"
"Raise the white flag, you fools! Do you still want to fight the 'Mysterious Admiral'?"
The crew hurried to raise the white flag, their eyes fixed fearfully on the small ship in the distance.
Captain Pedy in the bridge quickly realized that the Argo's destination was not the Rees; they were sailing rapidly eastward.
"Gods above, it's incredibly fast!" Pedi muttered. "I've never seen such a fast ship."
Then he spotted a giant ship in his field of vision: "Oh, that... that flag has eyes and books on it, it's the 'Golden Dream'!"
He saw the two ships meet and then head east together.
Pedi put down his binoculars and looked at the eastern sea, saying, "This is absolutely big news! We'll definitely get a good price for it when we get back to Nas."
The other crew members all felt a sense of relief, and no one had any intention of selling information.
"To celebrate this windfall," Pedi said, "get me a bottle of wine."
...
About an hour after Odis arrived on the Argo, he met up with the Golden Dream at the agreed location.
After a brief exchange using flag signals, Odis summoned "Star Sand" and used "Flying Technique" to fly to the "Golden Dream".
After his promotion, Odis no longer needed many of his scrolls.
For example, the "flying scrolls" that were used more often at sea are now rarely used by Odis himself.
Because the "Flying Technique" at Sequence 5 has similar speed and altitude to the "Flying Scroll" and can carry several people, Odis generally doesn't use this type of scroll anymore.
At this moment, his cloth bag contained mostly special scrolls made from extraordinary materials at the demigod level.
Upon arriving on the deck of the "Golden Dream," Odis saw "Lieutenant General Iceberg" who came out to greet him, as well as First Mate Blue and others who were forcing a smile.
Despite the crew's best efforts to dissuade their captain, who warned that the waters east of the Sunia Sea were extremely dangerous and that Captain Gar, who had become the "Mysterious Admiral," was also in great danger.
However, the captain ignored the advice and still chose to sail to the Sunya Sea to meet up with the "Mysterious Admiral".
After a brief greeting, Edwina invited Odis to the study to discuss the upcoming itinerary.
Odis shared the information he had obtained about the "Ruins of the War of the Gods," and Edwina said she would definitely inform her crew.
She then said, "I've also gathered some information. It's said that some people call that place the 'Ruins of the War of Gods'? Which war of gods created those ruins?"
Most pirates didn't know that it was the "Ruins of the War of Gods," they only knew that the strange sea area in the eastern part of the Sunia Sea was dangerous, but also had a lot of treasure.
Odis replied vaguely, "I've heard that it was a divine war at the end of the Third Age, and it's said that the Eastern Continent disappeared after that war."
With her delicate oval face, Edwina slowly nodded and said, "I've read some related information and speculate that the so-called 'Land Forsaken by God' should be the Eastern Continent."
Odis nodded: "I think so too."
Then he took out a crystal ball. The crystal ball wasn't very exquisite, but it had a spiritual energy: "If there are any problems, we can use this crystal ball to communicate."
He paused for a moment and then said, "I've done experiments. As long as the distance is no more than 800 kilometers, I can establish a mystical connection with the crystal ball I have on me."
Edwina took the crystal ball and said, "The distance is enough, but I don't know if it will be affected in the 'Ruins of the Gods' War'?"
"That's what I'm worried about too," Odis said. "If the crystal ball doesn't work, we'll have to rely on shouting."
Edwina, whose emotions rarely fluctuate, suddenly smiled slightly: "This is the only way."
Then the two talked about the island they had discovered earlier, which might have demigod-level characteristics.
They had communicated through letters many times before. Odis and Edwina had each found a nautical chart from the Quaternary period, before the formation of the Raging Sea, through their respective channels, and basically determined the location of the island.
They are now working hard to find clues about the island and try to make more preparations before exploring it.
Odis said, "I still maintain my original view: in the absence of relevant information, we can conduct the exploration in multiple stages."
"For example, determining the location for the first time, and the basic situation."
"If you encounter difficulties, retreat promptly, make the necessary preparations, and continue your exploration."
Edwina took a deep breath and said, "That's what I was thinking too, but I just received some news that other organizations have somehow obtained similar clues."
"We don't know exactly how much intelligence they've obtained. Once we start exploring, it could easily expose the island's exact location."
By then, if you can't get that feature in one go, you might end up doing reconnaissance for someone else.
Odis was taken aback. Could the so-called "other organizations" be the Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of the Storm?
He thought to himself that the Knowledge Church's secrecy mechanism was terrible; such important information had been leaked!
But soon, Odis took a deep breath, sensing that things might be heading in a very troublesome direction: "We can only wait and see how things go, and give them some misleading information."
Edwina hummed in agreement: "And we need to hurry up with the exploration."
Odis said, "After returning from the 'Ruins of the War of the Gods,' we will take action after a period of rest."
After the two finished talking, Odis got up to return to the ship, and Edwina saw him off.
As soon as they reached the deck, their spiritual senses suddenly kicked in, and they saw a giant ship shimmering with starlight appear in the sky.
Its bulkheads, decks, and masts shimmered with a dreamlike glow, like a starry night sky on a moonless night.
Ring ring~
Immediately, Rupert, who was stationed on the Argo, sounded the alarm, the electromagnetic cannon capable of attacking the air began to charge, and the safety of the two extraordinary machine guns was also released.
Edwina immediately issued the order to "prepare for battle," and the "Golden Dream" then emitted a golden light.
Ugh~
Amidst a violent gust of wind, the colossal ship, shimmering with starlight, landed on the vast ocean ahead.
Then the dazzling sea of stars on the ship's hull gradually disappeared.
Odis saw that the ship's flag indeed had a dozen or so white stars of the same size, and those stars surrounded a cold eye without eyelashes.
This is the banner of the "General of the Stars".
Edwina also saw the other party's flag. She frowned slightly and said, "Gadria?"
The flagship "Future" of "Admiral Star" surprised everyone except Odis.
...
Not only were the crew of the Argo and the Golden Dream surprised, but Gehrman Sparrow, also known as Klein, on the Future was also very surprised.
Just now, the "Future" encountered the "Death Note" of the "Undying King". After the opponent launched an attack, the "Star Admiral" used "Brilliant Star Sea" to make the ship fly up and land in this unfamiliar sea area.
At this moment, most of the crew of the "Future" were lying painfully on the deck due to the attack of the "Undying King".
The "Star Admiral," having exhausted too much spiritual energy, returned to the captain's cabin to rest.
Frank Lee, the first mate of the "Future," scratched his head somewhat uncomfortably and said, "Could it be that the 'Undying King,' the 'Mysterious Admiral,' and the 'Iceberg Admiral' have teamed up against us?"
Klein glanced at the captain's cabin window, which was still closed, and said in Gehrman Sparrow's icy tone, "No."
The Argo and the Golden Dream did not launch an attack immediately, and the Admiral Star did not sense any danger; otherwise, he would have already come out of the captain's cabin to prepare for battle.
Frank looked at the distressed sailors on deck: "In any case, we should get out of here quickly. They haven't attacked, probably because they don't know that the 'Future' is in a vulnerable state."
However, at this point, he was the only crew member still able to move normally. Although Gehrman Sparrow was a very skilled adventurer, he probably couldn't pilot a ship.
The two of them had no way of navigating the boat quickly to leave this area.
Klein said, "I know both 'Mysterious Admiral' and 'Iceberg Admiral'. I'll wait a bit and go talk to them when the time is right."
Frank was taken aback: This guy has a lot of connections!
Knowing "Iceberg Vice Admiral" was not surprising to him, but knowing "Mysterious Admiral" was a bit of a surprise. After all, this was a new pirate general who had only been at sea for a few months, and most pirates had never seen Captain Gal.
...
At this moment, on the deck of the "Golden Dream", Odis also said: "I think there must be some misunderstanding here."
"I have worked with 'Admiral Star' before, and I'll invite her to my ship for a chat later."
"Come here too. If it's just a misunderstanding, then we can go our separate ways."
Edwina looked at the "Future" and hummed in agreement. She knew the "Star Admiral" and they had no prior conflicts, but his sudden appearance seemed suspicious.
However, if the "Admiral of the Stars" is willing to come aboard Odis's ship, then it is still possible to sit down and have a talk.
Odis then asked, "If we find that we share a similar goal, could we travel together?"
He added, "Most of my intelligence on safe routes in the 'Ruins of Gods' comes from the 'Star Admiral'."
Odis was not lying about this; he did only realize how terrifying the "War of the Gods" was after "seeing" Cattleya and Klein's experiences.
If it were just the Argo alone, Odis would be happy to travel with the Future, but with Vice Admiral Iceberg present, she would definitely have to consider Edwina's feelings.
However, his next sentence meant that Cattleya knew more about the "Ruins of Gods War" than he did, and he subtly expressed his desire to travel with the "Future".
Edwina considered for a moment before saying, "Okay."
In unknown waters, forming a fleet for navigation can better deal with some strange dangers.
Odis returned to the Argo and had Boatswain Salina signal for "negotiation".
Soon, Frank, the first mate of the "Future", also raised the "negotiation" flag, but then raised the "wait" flag.
Odis knew that Cattleya must be very tired at this time, so he was not in a hurry.
The three ships remained locked in a standoff on the sea. About half an hour later, the "Future" once again raised the signal flag for "negotiation".
With long black hair, glasses, an exquisite leather bag and a short scepter hanging from her waist, Cattleya walked towards this place, stepping on solidified starlight.
Accompanying her was Gehrman Sparrow, dressed in formal attire, with a cold expression, who flew using the "Sailor" pathway spell.
Soon, the two landed on the deck of the "Argo," where Odis and the entire crew greeted them: "Welcome!"
He smiled and said, "Gentlemen, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Odis noticed that Cattleya's face was somewhat pale, and her eyes seemed to show some fatigue.
At this moment, under the watchful eyes of all the crew members of the Golden Dream, the "Iceberg Admiral" flew onto the deck of the "Argo".
Odis suggested, "Let's talk in the cabin."
Instead of going to the cabins below deck, they went to the lounge next to the bridge.
Although the space here isn't as big as a restaurant, it's still big enough to seat several people.
At this moment, only three captains and the adventurer Gehrman Sparrow were sitting in the room.
Vice Admiral Edwina maintained her usual aloof demeanor, and Admiral Cattleya remained silent. Although Klein was filled with curiosity about the ship, he also resisted the urge to ask questions.
After the "Extraordinary Puppet" served tea, Odis smiled and said, "If unsuspecting people saw us sitting together talking, they would definitely mistakenly think that we were going to join forces to hunt the 'Undying King'."
The reason it wasn't about hunting the "King of the Sea" is because attacking the other three kings would be suicidal for them; only hunting the "Undying King" has a certain chance of success.
Apart from Cattleya smiling slightly, the other two did not react at all.
Then Cattleya said, "This joke isn't funny, because we really did encounter the 'Undying King' and his 'Death Call' just now."
Odis and Edwina were both somewhat surprised, but one was feigning surprise while the other was genuinely surprised.
"So that's how it is." Odis pretended to understand. "No wonder you suddenly fell from the sky."
He paused for a moment and said, "Now that you know why you did that, I won't beat around the bush. We're going to the 'Ruins of Gods War.' What about you?"
